ok your problem is stock suspension the stock suspension gives alot more then a 1 inch drop spring will not as comfortable as a stock spring but won't rub.. 18's don't rub either had a full air ride on them and coilovers slammed never had a prob then 19's rub when u do u turns and slam it all the way down

i have 215 40 17 and they rub with 2 people in the car goin around corners fast, i called the place where i got them and they said to take a baseball bat and roll the inside edge of the fender a little outwards, i did this and it doesnt rub as bad anymore. i also took out the black rubber thing and folded the lip a little, seemed to help some more. but i dont know whats going to happen when i get 5 people in the car.
