Whats wrong with my fitment? PICS!
**Just added Jpeg pics so the mobile guys can see.**
I originally had a set of Eurotek UO2's. I recently sold them and purchased The set that is seen in the pictures. They are Eurotek UO3's and have the same specs as the original set 19X8.5 et35 19X9.5 et33. I am currently running General Gmax tires 235/35 and 265/30. I am lowered on Tein S-techs and my fenders are rolled. I had an alignment done and my front camber is 1.1 degrees and rear is 2.8 degrees. My previous set of tires were 245/35 - 275/30. I used to rub on the drivers side rear fender liner on dips in the road and on the front when Turing into steep driveways. My logic was to get narrower tires to eliminate rubbing, which it did! However, I feel like the wheels need to be more flush with the fender. I had a set of 10mm spacers I decided to try. With the spacers installed I am now rubbing again but not as bad as with the original set. Questions 1- Should I be content that I have eliminated the rubbing? 2- The car seems awfully low, could that be why I'm rubbing so much? 3- Should I add some positive camber to the wheels to have them sit more "flush with fender? 4- Should I try 5mm Spacers? Ascetically, will it make that much of a difference? Anyone in Miami Florida care to look at my set up and give an opinion? Last edited by tarponman85; 08-16-2013 at 10:37 AM..

If rubbing in the rear git are probably rubbing here (pic below) had to do this when I went to 295's and a 10MM spacer.

To me, it does not look like you're on factory suspension.
If your fenders aren't rolled, that's possibly a solution to your problem.

if you're fenders aren't pulled/rolled that will take care of most of it, getting coilovers will help a ton too because they're a lot stiffer than springs.

are you rubbing on bumps or just normal driving and turning?

I would shave the fenders...it cured all my issues.
