i had 22s. if you rub, more than likely the setup is too aggressive. you will need to play with the fenders. there is a plastic (black) tab along the fender edge held by screws, take it off and see if that's enough. if not, you probably need to shave fenders

Great I will try it. What would you recommend for a tire size if I went 22inch?

what is the width of your wheel, that gives you ideas on what tires to get. but 265/30/22 i think is the spec size already

Did you lower your car? I had the same issue with the Tanabe springs. Ended up replacing those with Megan Coilovers and it pretty much resolved my issue 90%. Now it only bottoms out if I hit a major bump going pretty fast. Its definitely the fender. Just get them rolled and it will resolve your issue. I can definitely see it on mine when they were installing the coilovers.

Hi all i just bought a used set of 22. Its 22x10.5 front and 22x12 rear. It sits a 1/4" over the fender. I drop mines right above the tires and completely shaved my rear fender and removed all my wheel liner. Yet its still rubs when i make hard turns or have passengers. Cant figure out where its rubbing now. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Mine specs were 22x9.5 offset 35 front with 255/30 rears were 22x10.5 offset 38 295x25 absolutely no rubbing at all. Everything lined up pretty flush with the fenders. It has a lot too do with the offsets. Too aggressive on the offset and it will cause the rubs
