Rear suspension problem...help

I have stock shocks and springs in the rear of my maxima, and 19" rims with small tires, and there is a huge gap between my tire and fender, yet still if anyone sits in my backseat when I do over 65 or hit a dip my tires rub on the fender wells......Anyone else experience this....So I decided to get a new shocks and newer stock springs bought from a much less used maxima than mine lol, still same issue, so any advice would be great, thanks... or anyone selling some kind of rear aftermarket struts cheap

How wide are your rims/tires, and what is the offset? That is probably your issue.

I don't remember the offset, but the tires are 245's low profile....and the thing is , there is just so much space, these stock springs must be so soft, 245/40/19

Those 245 width tires is what's getting you. Well, that and the stock springs.

With my ksport coilovers you can't go above stock height, just below. It would be cheaper to get the right tire size.
