Hey Acurazine,

So my rear left tire is rubbing and was wondering what were my options? I wanted to drop the car, but if it's already rubbing... :/

I'm running TSW Nurbugrings 18x8 +35 with 245/40/18 Hankook V12's (square setup) on my 5AT Type-S suspension.

Thanks, pics attached.

where is it rubbing at, doesn't look dropped in the rear.

if that's THE ONLY tire that is rubbing; your left rear suspension is SHOT, done for, finished.

that left rear shock must not have enough compression/rebound allowing the tire to hit the fender.

that is if that's the only one doing it.

IF the left rear shock is done and once you replace it, you might wanna roll & possibly pull your rear fenders before you plan to lower it. I would've went with a 235/40 size tire..

If this is the case, would buying coilovers to swap out the suspension fix the issue?

well, let's see.

you're swapping out a bad shock for a new shock.

Im confused. Even with a blown strut you shouldn't have any issues with those specs.

I don't see that you're rubbing, it looks like you have a ton of gap. Just replace it
