Default New Wheels :[

Well guys, I got the new wheels in yesterday threw em on and loved em! was i nice warm 60 degree day too. Today its snowing about 25 and i have now discovered that my rear shocks/struts are shot . As with it being a bit colder everytime a hit a bump the inner fender on the rear rubs the sidewall of the tire :[.

So i am opening up this post to ask for thoughts ideas to Coilovers. and which route to go. will be rolling and tucking the fenders too.

GT7 win . Why don't you just roll/pull first to clear the wheels first?
