Wheel rub problem

Hey, I put on some Enkei PKRs with some Falkens. They are 18 * 7.5 but my rear wheels always rub when I go into dips. I know the offset should be at least 45, but mine is 38. Also, haha, the tire size is 235. Does anyone know if getting smaller tires like 225 would stretch the tire out a bit more to reduce the rub? My car has 170 on it so maybe replacing the stock struts would help along with getting my fenders rolled? I'll post some pics up later today or tomorrow when I get the chance. Any input is appreciated.

235 is to wide. 235 is better for 3.2tl. an for 2.5tl i would stick with 225/45 or lower i would roll ur fenders to for the rub

I had a 225 with +35 offset and it rubbed quite a bit. New shocks definitely would help, and I was VERY tempted to roll my fenders. Luckily that set of rims/tyres was mainly used at the track so I didn't have to worry about it.

~Cheers~
