Either raise it up, get stiffer shocks, roll the fenders, or get sway bars back there.

this is a bad answer but, dont run 17s. In my eyes they look ridiculous on our cars. But hey its your ride. enjoy.

but its only the right rear.i would go with stiffer struts but i kinda makes no sense cause my battery is relocated to the left rear and i sit on the left side and there is no sway bar at all in the car its an std hb so you would have to figure it would be the drivers side rubbing.how do u roll the fenders?

If you've lowered the car at all, you can get some lower control arms from Specialty Products that will pull the wheels in 5 mm or so.

This usually helps with rubbing issues.

i agree that 17's are too big for 4th gens. I have 205/40/16 and it rubs sometimes. I say rolling the fenders is a good idea or maybe making it camber more? it's gonna wear the tire out faster though...

My 16" 205/45's rubbed in the rear. A few suggestions are remove the black trim around the wheel well if you have it. If it still rubs after that take a Dremel to the wheel wells and grind out the top portion of the wheel well. Then use touch up paint, you will never notice it.

Either roll your fenders with a bat as some have done, Do search. Or you can go to a body shop and have them do it like I did, But it will cost you alot more money.
