Rubbing HELP Please

I'm rubbing really badly and I have iForged 20 x 9 and 20 x 10 in rear and 245/35/20 in front and 275/30/20 in rear on the S Drives and I'm lowered on Eibachs. I don't know how I can rub when almost everyone else is running lower springs and a way more aggresive offset then I am.. And I'm not trying to climb hills, just normal driving.. Anyone have an idea on why I'm rubbing? Thanks in advance!

Where are you rubbing? Have you cut the fender lining? It takes 20 minutes or so.

What are your offsets? And its either the fender lining or the metal tabs and braket inside the wheel well which can be bent back.

It must be the offset and/or the springs. I have 275 rears on 10.5" wheels and have never rubbed lowered on Tanabe NF210. How much are you rubbing and where?

Rubbing Mostly in back but once in a while for moderate dips I'll rub in the front. And no I haven't cut the fender lining but I'm not sure how yet. Someone told me to roll the fenders though..?

Not quite sure what the offsets are and I think I'm rubbing the fender lining.

I'm rubbing quite a bit. MOSTLY when someone sits in the back seat then it MAD rubs on almost every bump. And I'm not sure what the offset are but I do know that people are lowered alot more then me and they don't have a problem, not sure how though..

Do you have pics of your set-up? All you have to do to trim the lining is jack the car up to get enough space to get your hand between the wheel and the inner fender and cut the lining along the inside of the outer fender. If that makes sense. Lol

Rolling the fenders shouldn't be needed if you say they aren't too aggressive. Pics would definitely help bro.

Dude those look aggresssive as hell to me! Lol. Especially in that 2nd pic.

Take a pic from behind the car and a close up of the gap between the tire and the fender.

Here ya go bro, I tried to snap a few quick shots. I don't know how it could be too aggresive, they are forged wheels..

Well after those pics, you're right they aren't too aggressive.

Here you go man, quick DIY for trimming the fender lining:

Yeah it's possible. I know Danny was rubbing with his wheels and he's on Eibachs too.

Just cut the lining, or listen to it scrape until it rubs the lining away Fenders are already rolled as has been said.

^ Do you think it will hurt anything if it keeps rubbing? Like I'm sure it might wear out my tires faster?
