Rubbing issues

So put the Swift springs on a week ago, great springs by the way, and some 18X7.5 Volk CE28N's and behold rubbing, I didnt think I would get any issues with this size of tire, so can I get a more aggresve camber in the rear maybe 1.3 rear and 1.5 in the front or just go get the fenders rolled in the rear, but is it really necessary to roll them? Let me know..thanks

i just got some swift springs and some gr2 struts put on this weekend. i have 18x7.5 rotas, and im getting some rubbing in the rear. i'm planning to get my fenders rolled soon, and hopefully it will remove all the rubbing. i'l get back to you see if it solves the problem.

I got swifts on my sti, no rubbing with 18 x 8, 44 offset Rota P1s, on the volks, i had rubbing issues with 18 x 8.5, 40 offset, in the rear.

i suggest rolling fenders, or getting smaller tire.

You must have a pretty low offset to be rubbing with that combination. Depending on how bad its rubbing, some added negative camber could definitely help.

As for where to get them rolled, you could either do ti yourself, or you may get more responses asking in the socal section
