hi guys,
im thinking of 18x9+25 all around. do you guys think if it would work with 235/35/18? i have an AWD with coilover btw. i don't want to stretch the tires too much, so i want to go with 235...

the higher your height, the softer the setting should be

After driving around on the coils I've determind the springs themselves are just too soft. I'm at the same ride height I was on my H&R springs and I'm now rubbing when I didn't before...
They are 10k/8K. What I'm going to do is put 12K in the front and put the 10K in the back... that should help a little.

Thoughts?

You rub when you turn? bumps? or.. Might need to adjust or setting to a little stiffer. It might help.,

Also where do you rub? fender liner? or the fender?
