Default my bbs wheels offsets still rubbing a lil... Help!

I'm on koni shocks and teins springs with my bbs lm wheels offset. Front 18x8 + 40 225/40/18 Rear 18x9 + 40 255/35/18

I roll my rear fenders its still rub a lil when i hit a dip or slowing on bump. So ya think i be better off with 245/35/18 ? some of my friends think it be better with 235/35/18 tires for more safe for my tires not to rub any more cause of my offset wheels

I assume by your question you are only rubbing in the rear? I would try a little more negative camber before changing tire sizes.

Try alittle more negative camber. If that doesnt work, then get skinnier tires. I may be interested in the 255s depending on what kind they are if you end up with new tires.

First of all, figure out how much more clearance you need. 245 width tires are going to give you 5mm more fender clearance than 255 width tires. I would definitely try more camber first though.

Is your rear bumper tab relocated? I bet thats where you are rubbing if it isnt relocated.

ah i forgot about that; definitely double check this, if brian hasn't rolled an S before, then he may not have known, he can definitely take care of it if you let him know

+1 on the bumper tab. Anything below +45 in the rear is a really aggressive setup I think, especially with a 255.

I run 18x10 rear +38 with a 255 cheese grated tires, but my car hooks! Relocate the tab and also look into shaving the rear bumper a tad
