see i told all those fukers at the CL forum this, with the eibach drop i would have gotten 48-50mm offset rims
...Damn your $hit is low and the tire is scrubbing, you need to start shaving or rolling fenders either one...Or change rims, which would suck...Good luck...Shyne

yup i think it's the tire width because 45 offset on 7.5" wide rims should have been enough; 225 would have been better in this situation. also i don't think 235 is the suggested tire for a 7.5" wide rim...so you go the the mfr's site and look up the tire and size to see what the ideal rim width is.

Re: Why rub??????
first the factory rims offset is 55. Yours is 45 than means the rims are sticking out more. Sencond you should have 225/40/18 tires. Third the springs have nothing to do with the rubbing, they never do. Also check for a aligment. If the toe is off, it might cause it to rub. Good luck.
