wide wheels/tires rubbing ... Options

[lagos]

just wanted to get some ideas on what people have done to eliminate the rubbing in the rear when using wide rims/tires or spacers. i have 17x7.5 45 offset rims with 15mm spacers. as soon as i put them on, the rears would rub like crazy on the inner lip of the rear fender. i cut slits into that lip and used vice grips to bend the lip up. this helped a lot and got rid of most of the rubbing, however it still does rub ever once in a while. any ideas?

IIRC the smaller your offset, the smaller your offset, the farther out the wheels sit...

i understand yours are 7.5 and mine were 8" wide, but

5mm = .1969"

so...idk, cuz now this makes no sense to me.

i say:

1) try to roll teh fenders, if that doesnt work
2) smaller spacers, that dont work
3) spacers and rolled fenders better....or else
