Alrite, I had 18 by 8 rims before and they got stolen and i got another 18 by 8 same size tires and etc. well now the tires are hitting the wheel well. I'm wondering if I need new shocks or something. I have juss intrax lowering springs w/ stock shocks and i've also noticed that the side that hits the wheel well is actually slightly lower than the other side. Let me know if anyone have any idea.
 
Are your new 18x8 rims using the same offset as the old ones? If they are'nt thats probably the reason why there rubbing abit.
 
yes, i would have to say the same thing as o'boy. you might have a different offset than you previous whels.
 
Well what type of shocks are you using? If they are stockers, then yeah it could be time for some new shocks.

The offset could ba a problem too.

I had the problem becuase I have neuspeed springs and they say NOT to trim the rear bumstops, but I did anyway and they rubbed. So i had to install new bumpstops. I also had stock shocks in the back and they didn't last long beofre I upgraded to tokico illuminas.

Some people have to resort to rolling the inner fender.
