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?
