maybe... not sure, mine are fine. in mine you can barely fit 2 fingers between the tire and the fender, but it's on angle with fingers facing upward. Horizontally, I can fit 1 finger only.

Your rear rims look so "wide" on the picture. Are you running 18X8.5 or something like 18X 9?

I never measured it exactly from the ground. I just made sure I got the height the same on all coilovers, but it's been a year, so I don't remember what that is.

Maybe that's why your tires are rubbing, I think you will need to set yourself to negative camber to get away with it.

BTW: Is your TEIN SS new or used? If it's used, are they in good condition?

With 16 being full hard and 1 being full soft, I'm using 4 in front and 2 in rear (so my rear sway bar can do some work too)

I usually go around with 14 front and 12 rear, but I softened it for a road trip and haven't gotten around to increasing it yet

But I did notice that it rides a little softer than when my coilovers were new. It takes some time for them to settle in.

I went the STIFFEST in the front, and 4-5 clicks from stiff in the rear.

If I don't do this, I will rub :(
