After my extensive suspension work the past month, I put on new 235/45/17's yesterday, and instant rear rubbage! I'm dropped 2"-2.5" w/my Teins, and I rub on both sides when going over manholes/driveways/speed bumps/etc. can I Dremel off the inner fender lips or should I try something else first?

You can either cut tabs/roll fenders/dremel fenders or replace your new tires with something less bulbous (ha, bulbous).

What kind of tires are they?

What offset are the rims?

They're TL replicas...so I guess +45. Does the CL have bumper tabs?

yes +45 with 235's = rubbing.
You should be able to roll the rear fenders. But the front may scrape sometimes as well.

I guess the shoulder shape must be different, I never had any rubbing with my old Falkens.
When they "roll" the fenders, do you just flatten out the inner edge of the fender sheet metal?

Thanks, everybody. I rolled my fenders yesterday with a wood hammer! Now I only rub in extreme situations, and I might even adjust the camber a little bit to help tuck the rears in a little.
