rubbing/lowering issues

Hey guys
i just lowered my car with teins and got 17x8 wheels with a 40mm offset and i get rubbing on sharp/semi quick turns. mainly in situations in parking lots making a turn with the wheel turned all the way going ~5mph. What are my options in correcting this?

Also in the 40mph area when accelerating theres a slight vibration that i can feel in the pedals and the passenger can feel it under their feet. it's a potent yet subdued vibration, can barely feel in the steering wheel. anyone know what this could be?

thanks

My old wheels were 17x8, +40 offset, and 245/45 Bridgestone S-03's and never rubbed anywhwere with Eibach's. Where exactly are you rubbing? Fender lip or inner fender, front or back.

really man? cuz i mean, i checked here and it said it was a 40: http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/659 but if you say so then let it be.. i wouldnt know anyway..

i havent had the chance to see where exactly it's rubbing.. i'll take a look sometime.

and about the vibration, is there any chance that it could be from the tires/wheels, or are you pretty sure it's from the exhaust..

thanks-henock
