guys i need help , i installed 18x8.5 rims with 245/40/r18 tiers . the OEM rims are 18x7 with 215/45/r18 tiers , i had to install 6mm spacers in the back cuz the rims where hittin ginside with the HUB, now the PROBLEM is , no one can sit with me in the CAR ! cuz the raer tiers hit the body and even on very small bumps , i can hear hit hitting when i take sharp turns , i already installed H&R springs they are not very stiff in order to get a smooth ride but they are performance springs , so what do i have to do ? i dont want to roll my fenders :(
the rubber is stuck on the body of the car , does it rewin my tiers or no harm is done ?

The offset is not made for your car, either Roll fenders or flinch on every bump and turn :S

It does harm your tires AND the covers btw.

Lime get rid of those spacers as well as those rims ...
im sure ur getting vibrations as well over 80Km/hr

Spacers are the worst thing to have. If its touching cant u adjust the height? mine is touching a little as well at the moment, but ill raise it a little soon.

Wrong offset.
New wheels is the cure. I don't thing fender rolling will help as it is not touching on the outer edge, or is it?
Get rid of the spacers too.

On Evolve:

It'll cost approx. 250 to 300 per side, but better get it checked out first to identify the exact problem and appropriate solution.
