1.You can always take off the fender rolls. I believe it's 3 screws on each side plus those black push in the middle screw (5?)
2.Don't know what size tires you're running that may be a problem. 3.Get new shocks? The ones more suited for lowering springs 4. Tuck in your rims. 5. If you haven't had an alignment test 6. get smaller rims? (Just being an a$s sorry >.<) Those are some suggestions. I personally think suggestions 2 and 3 will help solve the problem but hey...I'm not a master mechanic |

rolling your fenders is another option...

I had this same problem. Installing a rear sway bar helps quite a bit, but won't solve your problem. I'm currently sanding away that inner lip on the fender but there appears to be some metal inside there making it difficult. I did manage to grind away about 1/10th inch or so from the inner fender. No rubbing yet, but I haven't had anyone in the back seat either... I'm running 18's with nf210s

u can also do some good allignments. Anytime you lower a car, change a wheel, your allignment will be off. That's something you'll have to expect.
