okay so i have a 05 gxp with blisten struts and scc lowering springs. the tires on the car a 18x8 all the way around and tires are 274/40/18 problem is the back tires hits the fender because the wheel offset is 25.

few ideas i had was spring blockers, stock suspension or change wheels because i cant have it rub anymore

any other ideas to help fix without sinking lots of money?

wheels stick out a lil past the fend, so i dont believe rolling them will help.. unless im wrong

i can get better pictures if needed

Pix showing how much the wheels stick out would help....but more importantly....vids of this turbo GXP or GTFO
 
i have one video, but it cant get it to upload, and the car is off the raod till spring.. i will get better pics soon

- smaller tires in the back
- negative camber
- rolled and pulled fenders


those are your options. why in gods name are you running 275s and a wheel offset of +25mm?

i have no idea, that is how it came when it was purchased
i dont really want a negative camber
rolled and pulled fenders i will take it to a body shop next spring and see what can be done

cuz he can..lol or well sorta... hahaa...

roll the fenders, but with a +25 offset. Dont think it will help with 275s
 


pulled fenders should be pretty easy with these cars. i bet you can get a good inch out of them before it starts being a pain in the butt.
 
thats is waaaay too much tire. all its doing is weighing a metric **** ton. run a 255 or something of the like. its just too much tire.
 


back the tire off to a 245 and you will probably have less rubbing issues. however, most people on here would whine that a 9" wide wheel needs a giant tire, but if you look at the specs a 245 is about 9" wide....

Kk thanks i have good tread on these now so ill burn them off all sumer and ill look into changing the sizes Just aslong as i dont have two skinny of tires
 
yeah, on those 18x9s with that offset youre going to need smaller tires and maybe some camber, as mentioned before. rolling your fenders and adding a half a degree of camber as is might even save you. gotta try it first.
