rear tires rubbing
hey guys, need a little help. finally installed my luxury high tech tein springs, but the rear tires are rubbing. the shop recommended to shave off the fenders to prevent the rubbing. any advice or suggestions? How much should I pay to shave it off? btw, sizes of tires are 225/45X18. thnx in advance, my first post.

I had to shave mine but I have 245/45-17s. Your offset is probably wrong, but if you have to shave the fender all do is shave the plastic part of the bumper. I did mine with a dremel tool.

Not the rear.
It'll slice your tires all up.

You can find your offset by dismounting your wheels and looking at the stamp on the back.
