spring and wheel compatability

i juss installed eibach pro kit springs on my cl type s w/ 18" volk le-37 gun metal rims...i like the drop, just as i imagined it to be but on the rear whever i make a right turn or go over bumps the back rear wheels hit the fender...wondering if ne1 else has this kinda problem and wat dey did to solve it...one guy told me i should bend in the fender on the part that is hittin the tires...

from the bak my car also some what seems to be slanting down to the left more den the right and my right side wheel never hits the fender even wen makin hard turns unless i come over a big bump....wondering if this coulda been prevented by some how reinstallin the same shocks and spring differently or adjusting them

need some feedback asap

Your rims are probably the wrong offset. You need at least a 45mm offset and you probably have somewhere between a 37-42mm offset. I would get differnet wheels!

cool monkey what are your specs on your tires. I have 235/40/18 and I rub in the back when i go over big bumps and take turns. i am also on an eibach drop. Look into rolling your fenders out. Check out my thread about flaring the wheel well
