Smile Rubbing fender lining !

I just picked up a set of Tein Flex coilovers. I know that they are not the best, but they certainly are better than the springs I had, due to the fact that I like the car slammed. The problem is that I am rubbing the fender lining and I want to keep it at the current heigth. I have seen several other cars as low as mine and have not heard problems of them rubbing. I am running 17x7.5 +48 up front with 225/45/17, so it is not like I am running anything drastic. Has anyone had the same problem and if so, what have you done to fix the problem. I am not looking for help not critisism.

Nick

i dunno...ur car looks pretty low in the front.
anyways...i got the flex and im on 205/50/16 with a 16x7 +35 up front. im not as low as u though. i got a little more than 1 finger gap. the first day i had it, it was rubbing like crazy. i had my flex at +8 from full hard. now i have it at +5 or +6 and it doesnt rub anymore. if that doesnt work for u, then go get an alignment with more negative camber or just roll ur fenders.
