Default Ahh! I'm rubbing. Please help!

hey guys, just need some help with my rubbing issue.

my set up is..

front: 18x8 +45 :: 225/40/18
rear: 18x9 +52 :: 255/35/18

eibach springs with stock struts. (thinking about getting the koni yellows pretty soon)


here are pics of all 4. its weird because the car is sitting uneven on the springs. the passenger/right side of the car is sitting lower..i cant even get one finger between the tire and fender, but on the left side i can almost get 2 fingers in the rear. it rubs the front and rear on the right side just going over small bumps in the road.

i thought it would settle out after a while..but i might have pre-loaded the springs wrong to have it sitting crooked. i think the driver/right side is sitting pretty good.

thanks for any help or advice.

is it possible that you switched front and rear springs on the passenger side?

i would've gone 245 rather than 255...especially w/ 18x9

you need to roll your guards it might look fine on a flat surface when stationary, but as soon as you go over some bumps and more weight is forced onto the dampers you'll start to get scrubbing. i had to roll guards and also trim bumper/relocate tab

im pretty sure we put them on correctly. 001va front and 002ha rear. i can double check later tonight to make sure.

and i was going to go 245, but i didnt want the rim sticking out pass the tire. stock height the 255 fit just fine.
