Post tires

The rims that I have on my car is 18*7.5, I have a little rubbing towards the outside of the tire. What should I do, should buy springs that would cause a firmer driver, but also drop the car or should I buy new shocks to firm the drive?

Wow if you are rubbing on 18X7.5 I guess the rims I want will rub real bad. The ones I am getting are 18X8.5 and that all they come in. Try getting your fenders rolled. That’s what everyone else told me. I don't know how it is done or what they do but seem to work for everyone else.

1999 silver TL with navi and I hope some 18s soon.

Hang on, 18 x 7.5 and rubbing? What offset are the rims, and what size tire are you running?

I am running on 225/18/40, it only rubs when I am at high speeds or I am taking a sharp turn and I hit a bump on the road. Where can I go to have my fenders rolled?
