Rear suspension troubles

[camfast]

I currently have a set of adjustable koni reds and eibach sportlines but rear tire is rubbing hard on the fender (rear fender rolled already). I've stopped driving the car the moment i felt the tire rubbing. So that being said, should i get a set of adjustable coilovers or go for a different lowering spring and stiffer rate? (I would highly prefer to go the lowering spring direction since i can find them at a reasonable price).

My wheel combo is rather aggressive at 18x8.5 +35 and 245x40x18 and lastly I would like to add that this is a daily driver with occasional 1/4 mile outings.

Please let me know of any suggestions or people that have had this issue in the past and resolved it.

Thanks!

Go to a smaller sidewall like 35 and run bad camber, like -1.5 to -2. Isn't ideal for handling but that should allow it to fit. It's the combo that got 245/35/18 on 18x8.5 +35 to fit for me in the rear. You might try the camber first to see if you can sneak in the 40 sidewall.

Its not feasible getting new tires since these are brand new and mounted already. I could try the negative camber though. Any suggestions on spring options?

Springs have nothing to do with your problem. There are going to be times you're going to fully compress your springs (assuming you keep reasonable rates and usable-lengths of bump stops). You need to have complete clearance of the fender during the full range of motion of your tires.

I see what youre saying. I will try the negative camber first and see how that works out for me. Thanks for your response!
