I'm just wondering what a "happy" set-up is between lowering/bigger wheels and rubbing issues.
I'm lowered approx 1.5" all around (trd springs, kyb/oem shocks) with 33+, 18x7.5 225/40/18 wheels and am having some rubbing issues from the rear. Since the upgrade from the 17's (17x7.5, 215/45/17, 33+) the rubbing seems to have increased dramatically. Before it would only be over signifigant bumps, or at high (35+mph) speeds, but now I'm rubbing on smaller bumps and at lesser speeds >10mph. I believe the PO told me the sway bars/bushings could be causing this noise as well. How would I check to see what is causing me to rub, whether it is the sways or the wheels |

I had 225/45/17 on my 7inch wheels my first go around. I ran a +40 offset and did not rub. This was on 17s though, so I can not fully vouch for 18s. You definitely need a lower offset though. Spacer is needed.
