    Possibly change out your struts for some new ones and roll your fenders.

    Remove the rims or get some beefy ass springs in the rear.

    Yes need to roll fenders. Are you sure it's even bottoming out? I'd roll the fenders first then see what's up. I rub if I take a corner really hard. Worst sound ever

    I just rub if I hit a slight bump, it doesn't hurt anything if you are rolled.

    Anyone that said take them off after he said they were attractive wheels (meaning he likes them), get bent.

    Roll your fenders. That's your best bet. Don't start cutting stuff up either.

    So the truth comes out about the side affects of sex LOL
    I know it doesn't hurt, it's just a sound I don't like to hear

    I was thinking rolling first. If you still hit, and depending on how often you have a decent amount of people in the stiff heightening springs. But they could make the ass end "up" unloaded. But I guess with 22" you aren't worried about wheel gap being uneven.

    I want to see this ride.

    And smile it's Blacktooth Grin!

    I purchased the car in November and put some stock tires i bought from Craigslist for winter. i don't have any pics with the rims on i was seeing if i could get some solutions to alleviate the rubbing before i put them back on this spring. I'll take a pic with the rims next to the car tomorrow so you can get a idea
