This is what I would do in order of preference:

1. Call the alignment shop yet to see if they can adjust the camber back to where it was? If it's not adjustable, ask them how the camber changed during your alignment.

2. Roll / pull / modify your fenders. Here is a link that provides some information about that. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...y-panda-4.html

I wouldn't change tires just yet. Spotxc just put on 265/30 Invo's on 10+38 wheels (more aggressive than yours) and doesn't rub with super down springs (lower than yours). I'm still shocked your setup rubs.

This car has 255/30/19's on it. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...s-f-sport.html

I might be interested in your tires. Let's see, since they rubbed the fenders, they are probably only worth about $20 per tire. Sound good?

UPDATE:

So I went ahead with the 255/30-19's in rear. Still rubbing on the VERY EDGE. Going to take it to the shop to get aligned as much as possible so it doesn't rub. We will see what they say.

Man that's terrible! Hopefully a quick adjustment will alleviate the issue.

I know! Hahaha, I just hate doing "appointments" for an alignment a week from now! Sa Abtonio isn't really full of "performance shops" that can align lowered cars. The 1 good shop is owned by a Spurs basketball player so it is ALWAYS packed. I'm one of those "instant gratification" kind of guys, I thought going 255 would do it immediately, so I went with that. Oops! I guess I'll car tomorrow, since they are also closed on weekends, to book something.

I think part of the problem is the s-techs lower the rear more than 1". It lowered mine 1.4.
