hm..that sounds weird. with that setup you should clear, it may be caused by the tire being too big for the wheel. it might bluge a little which is causing the rubbing.

you need to relocate your bumper screws..I helped one of the fellow s2ki member relocate his since he was having the same problem..he was running w/ a spacer and a -30 offset at the back..just move the screws back about 1 1/2 inch...need to drill out a new hole of course..and cut out the old screw hole..that would solve your problem..oh and if your wondering about is camber his running guessing -3 or more..GL man..hope to hear an update soon..

tire size in the rear is 255/40/17. Would putting on 245's help it? I tried to see about the tab but theres barely any room to drill a new hole towards the rear of the car about an inch to 2 inches from where its at. Help?
