Default Aggressive Fitment Nightmare! HELP!!*pics*

Mods: Feel free to move this to the "Will those wheels fit?"thread. I decided to make a new thread bc I have elaborate issues.

FACTS
-19" 8.5 +22 ; 225/35/19
-19" 9.5 +22 ; 275/30/19
-Dropped on H&R's

Long story short, I'm rubbing on flat surfaces going straight when hitting imperfections at 30mph in the rear.

I didn't think there was going to be a problem because I'm not dropped tooo much.

I DO NOT (can't actually) get newer smaller tires(quit work to finish school). Fender mods are a definite, I just don't know what kind(I'm a noob at fendor mods). Will good fender mods remedy my rubbing. I knew this wasn't going to work, but not this bad..

Also, my drive way is WHOLE other story. Impossible to go up now. Before with the same tires and sizes except the offsets were +38, and +45 didn't rub, even if I tried. My rear right tire was in the air spinning freely, why is this?

Can't fit my finger in between (rear)


Front tire going up my drive way


The rear tire in the air







Wheels are Plasti Dipped TEMPORARILY as I am going to plasti dip them many different colors to see what I like best and depending what I like I will powder coat them.

EDIT: more pics!

Stop running thick tires or go with low profiles like Falkens 452.. dont shave your fenders but roll them IMO..

Pull/shave the fenders and or stretch tires. 255/35 should be good

It's not the tires, it's the offsets... Go with stretched tires and mod ur fenders if u want to continue running +22...

Would rolling be enough?

Dame 275 30 is a bit meaty. I'm running 265 30 on 19x9.5 and it no stretch. So I don't see the need on 275 on the rear. As for rolling you might need some pull too.

I worked 2 jobs and went to school full time(12+ units) for the last two & a half years, I know its possible. I bought my own car, and pay all my bills. I still have one job to pay for school and other bills. With the budget cuts in schools, its impossible to get a class schedule that permits me having two jobs again until I graduate next year.

275 was perfect on my previous wheels. What is your offset on your 9.5, 265/30?

Now thats a stretch! I want to stay as wide as I can in the rear bc I drag race from time to time.

Damn 235 on a 19x10 isnt that a bit extreme for an h&r spring drop ?
