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??

if you have a professional wheels shop do that it will be ok but remember 5mm is the absolute max you can shave off.
BTW what size tire are you running

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?

i dont know exactly how low my drop is... i can do some measurments tomorrow... As for fixing the rubbing issues i found out exactly where a majority of the rubbing came from...

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..
