so... installed wheels, not lowered yet... no rubbing when rear isnt loaded. when rear is loaded with passengers, rubs rear on highway joints or big bumps. so my new question if i run 235/45/18 on eibach springs will rear rub ? or just be safe and do 235/40/18 ???

Or is the stock suspension this terrible? LOL

On stock suspension the rear will rub.

I literally took the wheels and tires off a G35 coupe and put them on.

Soo get coilovers , problem solved, among many other problems like.... Having stock suspension

(or just roll the rear fenders)

(Stock suspension on g35 coupe 18s)

I would post a more recent photo but you can't tell if my car is on coilovers or not based on photos
