i just installed a set of bc racing coilovers with swift springs on my isf . i have the stock wheels with winter tires on waiting for my aftermarket wheels to arrive ,

the car is a inch lower and both of my front tires rub like crazy on turns and bumps but i dont think a fender roll will fix this issue it seems like the wheels are rubbing on the fender lining has anyone has this issue with there front tires how can i fix this

I am about 1.5 inches lower than stock with Tein comfort sport coilovers.
Stock isf front wheels and stock size tires with 15mm spacer and I do not rub at the front. No fender roll or changes to liner.

Only at full turn steering is.when the tire is about half an inch clearance to fender liner.

What is your current front tire size and are you running any spacers?
I cannot see why you will rub at the front with only an inch drop.

Its just rubbing on the liners, let it rub away lol.

According my experience, after lowering (non-aggressive) with 255 front tires, when you back up a bit uphill steering to the left, most likely you will rub at the passenger side fender liner due to about 8.6 caster I have. Driver side should be fine.

I had to trim a bit of the fender liner to fix the rubbing.

I find it odd that we rub going in reverse and not forward.. is this due to the soft bushings?

^one of the factor, also due to the arms design, free play plus back up momentum I think...

What spring rates did you get? Winter tires have taller tread usually so the OD may be a tad larger that stock tires.

I had the same issue for mine as welll.. I couldn't stand it so I ended up raising a a little bit from the front and after that no rubbing whatsoever! Although its just the inner liner and like CalitriSC said let it rub away. lol yes that or simple raise it a bit. I just couldnt stand hearing the sound possibly wearing it out.

winter tires typically have a much higher and square sidewall design than say, a Pirelli P-Zero, etc... so that may be a big part of your problem.
