ok my own thread resurrection... im still having rubbing issues. i rolled and slightly pulled my fenders and even removed the fender liner. still have runnbing issues. if i raise it a little i think it might help but if i have passengeres it will still rub... someone brought up the idea of having a wheel repair center machine out 5mm from the hub to pretty much raise the offset to +37. anything else i can do??

dluxxx- Fills out nicely. Did you ever figure out what your drop is and/or fix the felt liner rubbing? your tire diameter is 1.1 inches taller than OEM 18" fitment. And you are ET32, correct?

the front rub was from one of the fender liner screw holder... its kind of a wedge shape. all i did was take it off and bam no rubbing. for the rears i had to actually pull the fenders a little bit... flatten the lip where the rear bumper meets the rear quarter panel within the fender... and i actually had all my tires shaved 3mm to raise my offset to ET35. Now i only get rubbing when theres people in the back and i hit a big bump.

I mounted 19x9 et29 and the tires is 255 instead of 265. At this condition no rubbing but i think if to mount 265 it would be a problem. I would not make any modifications for suspension "drop". Car needs to be drived somehow after all..
