Droped car today i think tires is hitting what to do any1 ever in this boat ?

I got 19x8.5 evo 5's and droped with sprints and kybs doesnt seem to bad driving and i dont hear it hitting but it looks like there is the dirt from the plastic wheel well on the tire my gap is about a finger and a half but size the tire is wide it flush with outer most part of fender so can really tuck in. Any body have any sollution or similar problems. If it hitting is it gonna end up poping my tire ? thanks

Are those struts adjustables? If so, firm them up.

I remember reading a post about rolling the fenders a long long time ago...Do a search...and I'll try to explain.

Take a louisville sluggers bat and put it between the tire and the fender...if it wont fit, jack your car up to take some pressure off the suspension. Then work your way around the fender bending the metal in and up... that should give you more room.

I have never done that... so make sure you get someone else's advice too before you do anything.

You're right my friend. FYI - "grammar" not "grammer".

Im running the same tire size as you.. and ive had my car with 5 big people in it and the tires have not rubbed. All though i have a different suspension set up... but its still droped... you deff. might want to look into your offset.. maybe they stick out to far..
