wide wheels/tires rubbing ... Options

[lagos]

just wanted to get some ideas on what people have done to eliminate the rubbing in the rear when using wide rims/tires or spacers. i have 17x7.5 45 offset rims with 15mm spacers. as soon as i put them on, the rears would rub like crazy on the inner lip of the rear fender. i cut slits into that lip and used vice grips to bend the lip up. this helped a lot and got rid of most of the rubbing, however it still does rub ever once in a while. any ideas?

so u have a total offset of 30 with 225s

that why your rubing

my rims were 17x8 with 225-45-17 with a 35mm offset....and i coudlnt get my fingers between the tires and the fender...ive never seen rolled fenders on a celica, u can give it a shot art. cant be TERRIBLE.

another solution is sell the 15mm spacers, and get 10mm ones to replace them

edit: idk but heres ebay ones:
