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 ???

Rear should not be rubbing! It sounds like your struts are blown. This does not happen with my coilovers and there's not even a finger gap. The rear wheels without spacers is sunken in too far to rub anything outside. Your struts are shot and it's bouncing like crazy, I presume (common problem).
Or is the stock suspension this terrible? LOL

Unless the OP has shaved the tab in the rear wheel wells that connects the bumper to the body, then he will rub on dips or a loaded car.

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

Rear beam offsetting when you lower it.

Can be fixed by the QT rear link...

Or just raise it back up and get coilovers

(or simply roll the rear a bit and it's solved)
