Hi Everyone,

I recently put on some Volk TE37SLs 18x9.5 +45 with 265/45/18 Hankook RS4s with Eibach Prokit springs and 1.5 degrees of camber.

I was rubbing on the fender liner, but fixed it after folding the tab in. But the rubbing continued, and so I realized I'm now rubbing on the inside strut tower.
Has anyone run into this before? I thought this would be a pretty conservative set up.

I'm trying to avoid running spacers, since I'm planning on tracking , but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Why did you choose 265/45 over 265/35? Is the wheel or tire rubbing? Can you take more/better pics of the contact area?

40 series tire would probably been a better choice than a 45. It may be too tall.

The 45 series tire is too tall, you will need either 255/40 or 265/35 tires to fit with no issues. Thats the common tire sizes I've seen fellow members run.
