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?

Wrap a towel around a bat and jack up the car enough to get the bat between the tire and fender lip... lower the jack little by little while pushing the lip up inside the wheel well and continue to work your way around. Its easy and works fine. You will probably have to touch up alittle cause the paint may crack some if its not hot enough.
