Default Rolled arches,and still rubbing under acceleration?

I have lowered the s2000 30mm all round the front seems to sit higher than the back I have no issues on the front but the rear is still causing issues under high acceleration you can feel it vibrating as the tyre is obvestly touching somewhere but where and how can I sort it here's what I've done and what I'm running

225/40/18 tyres

Rolled arches and relocated bumper tab

Any help on this would be awesome I was thinking of running a 35 profile tyre but it's just a risk that that may not sort it and that's alot of money to spend if it doesn't

225/40/18 only tells part of the story.

How wide are your wheels and what is the offset?

Most likely: your wheels don't properly fit the car. Your options are as follows:

1. Deal with it until something breaks or you shred a tire
2. Ditch the wheels for something that fits better
3. Raise the car up a little

Remember kids: EVERY MODIFICATION HAS A TRADE-OFF.

Have you ever used a period or other punctuation?

it's probably your cv buckets, get driveshaft spacers or flip the buckets left/right

there are tons of threads on s2ki about this common problem

have you ever considered that english may be a second language to him?? Give him a break What offset are your wheels? Im guessing that your axle cups are pitted and need to be swapped from left to right.

Well he used apostrophes, but still...

As everyone said, make sure the wheel fits right. I've read every thread about rubbing pretty much, and it seems like any offset lower than 45 requires some kind of fender work (depends on tire size of course).
