Default Rubbing when turning Help!!

I am using Racing Hart CR 19x8.5 front 19x9 Back
Kumho Ecsta SPT 235/35-19 Front
Kumho Ecsta SPT 235/35-19 Back

I tried 255/35-19 at the back but was rubbing when I had a load.
Lowered using Tein S. Tech

I am still rubbing when turning offsets are +38 all around... HELP!!

we all rub. i running offsett of +48 and i still rubb

either suck it up or use a heat gun to the front fender, if u look at ur fender on the bottom part in the back of the front rear well there is a square part that sticks out further than the rest , thats where u r rubbing and thats what needs to b pushed back. do a search, people have posted pics of what needs to be done

you are rubbing on the plastic fender behind your front wheels...just use a heat gun and push the plastic in...that should fix your problem..

what i did is cut it out...and put over gorilla industrial tape....lol...

Use 225 in the front and it should be fine.... I had the same problem when I was running 235 in the front.
