Default Anyone rollin on 19s and drop?

I have an AP2 with 19 in axis hiros and I get some minor rubbing in the rear and I am wondering if I throw some tein springs (1 in drop) on stock struts in there if the camber created will give me enough clearance and no rubbing. So I was curious if anyone is running on 19s with aftermarket springs on stock struts...I am going to be selling my wheels soon but I am just curious! Also what size tires are you runnin? pics??????

Ok.

So let me get this straight:

You're at stock ride height, and you're rubbing.

And you're asking if lowering your car will cure this problem?

Wow.

Anyway, the answer is no. Lowering your car will not make the rubbing stop. If you're rubbing on stock suspension, lowering will only make it worse.

it is rubbing on the outside of the wheel and I was thinking with enough camber it may clear the small spot that it rubs!

Yeah, it's sitting on the bumpstops so I gotta cut those and then shave the bottom of the frame.
