Default 18wheels.Bodykit.Coilovers no good lol.need help

Hi everyone. My car is low on coilovers but there raised to the highest, has 18 wheels and a bodykit. The front tires rub on the kit if I turn kinda fast or on a small bump. It's messing it up so I'm going to have to take it to a bodyshop to get fix but I want to fix this problem first my question is if there's anyway to get the coilovers to raise the car a bit more? Maybe by putting some washers in to raise it? Idk about suspensions so sorry if I sound like an idiot lol

it's God's way of punishing ricers.


jp...kinda...well...notreally, anyway...if they are already on their highest setting I would look into getting some new coilovers. You can add spring spacers, but it's really going to compromise the geometry of your suspension. What's the offset of your wheels?

They are 50offset all around with spacers so the wheels clear the calipers. Thinking of getting smaller diameter tires to give it some space since the set up right now is larger than stock. But it will make it smaller then stock with some 255/30/18 I'm looking at so speedo might be a little off but it's cool as long as it helps ):

Spring spacers. That's what I need to get. I never heard of them till now but figured there was something like that out there that would help. Need to look for some. Thanks
