Lowered? Spacers? Rubbing on bumps/dips in the road or turning? Stock wheels?!
Just getting all the info as these are my next tires in the exact same size. I'm lowered on Swift springs as well. Just never heard of anyone rubbing with that setup.

For some part, it depends on your ride height, offset, camber, stiffness and if your fenders are rolled. I'm on 35+ all around, dropped with tires (exact same sizes) barely tucking under fenders with rear fender rolls. Big dips going 50+ will rub but nothing major.

Car is factory height on the back. Wheels are TE37 TTA +35 on 10''.
Also car rubs on the front a lil bit when full wheel turn in reverse. Offset in front is +22 on 9.5'' lowered on Swift.
Rub on big bumps/dips. Very minimal.
Trying to find a shop in New Orleans to get the fenders rolled with no success so far

With that you need to see where it's rubbing in the fender liner, and heat the area up with a heat gun to push and hold the area in until the liner cools and stays in the new form.

If you want to fix your headlights use autosol metal polish then any wax, I didn't believe it until I did it on a older car I was working on came up fantastic cheers

Time to start detailing before the All F Meet at Lexus Escondido this Sunday. Looking forward to seeing some old faces and new owners as well.
