Default 4th gen wheel rub

I installed my tein flexes today. I set the ride height settings to the reccomended specs, put my wheels on and they rubbed like ****. So I took those wheels off (the tires are 205/65/15, stock is 205/55/15.) and put on my old 18" wheels. The outer diameter on the 18s is smaller, but I don't really like running the 18s. I still get wheel rub going over speed bumps too fast.

My questions are:

1. If I bump the ride height up a ton, can I still run the 15" wheels?
2. If I bump the ride height up just a bit, that would solve the wheel rub problem with the 18s, right?

And yeah, I'm getting smaller tires on my stock alloys. The 18s are just to hold me over until I can save up for new tires.

you can definitely adjust it enough to allow for 15s with no rub....but your tires are very tall....

and yes, just bump it a bit and the 18s should fit...
