Camber, raise it, or roll your fenders.

i rolled and flared my fenders. no camber kit AT ALL. i no camber issues to my tires and ive driven on these for about 5 months..i suggest you get some 195/50/15. if you are ball'n get some 195/45/15. camber in and lower.

i also have no rub issues driving. i can do u turns like every normal car.. only rub in rear when i hit a huge holes on the road.



front


rear

dont mind the beat tire in this pix. i slapped the rims on at the shop and drove it home like that for 4 miles without rolling or flaring the fenders.

Yea one of my friends told me to roll my fenders but my other friend said it wouldnt help but seeing how it helped u ima do it to mines now,yours looks good it doesnt look like yours sticks out at all compared to how mines is now.I got some skunk 2 to shocks on mine and it really helped the rubbing problem when im by my self but i like to carry alot of people with me and it still rubs when i carry people,does it rub when u have a packed car?? one of my back tires looks just like that tire u got in the pic lol i think we have the same tires too lol

kumho escta AST 195/50/15. i restrict people sitting in my back seat. but i do sometimes ride with a front passenger and 2 in the rear. same issue only rub when its a huge dip/hole. you should get a camber kit and camber it in get alignment and TOE set to 0. but its on you. try rolling and flaring it the fenders, lower the car more for it to camber in and see how you like that..if you dont like it, camber kit and camber it in..but i dont know how thats gonna work out since..you like to pack people..

it wasnt too hard. you have OEM paint so heat the edge of the fender with a heatgun or something so that way when you start rolling the paint doesnt crack off the fender instead it will flex with it. i had my hand on the outside while i started to fold the fender with the mallet. flaring i just had my wheel on and i jacked the car up enough to stick the bat in there and pry down and evenly all around. thats it.
