What is the offsets on your wheels??? Because i'm pretty sure you have the wrong offsets... Man the h&r springs will drop your car 2 inches and your camber is gonna be like 3 degrees negative front and rear.. That will wear your tires out extremely fast..

you will ,, as in YOU WILL rub more with the H&Rs ,, those springs are low!

Yeah then I know the offsets are your problem then because with the g35 u could run a real aggressive offset with no problem.. I have a 35mm offset in the front and a 37 mm offset on my volks. They fit flush with the fenders, they sit beautifully.. I have 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear.. I have the Tanbe nf210 springs and I have no problems with rubbing at all.

so there is no way of fixing it maybe rolling the fenders other than changing the wheels

i also encountered one member here in the forum ,, his name is oneniceG i think,,, he also used his volkS from his g35 to his 37 ,,, i think he had rubbing problems as well ,, he installed his tanabe's only on the front because he will rub more if he did it in the rear

in regards to rolling fenders,, i dunno about this one ,, our fenders are rolled already ,, hmmm i never rolled fenders before,, but if you will ,, atleast go to a professional to do it ,, it could ruin your paint ,, but i dont recommend rolling fenders ,, just my opinion

so the best bet is to sell the wheels and get new once

Yeah, he had 19 inch Volk GT-7s. They're +15 all the way around I believe. He was able to lower the front on tanabe's but he wasn't able to lower the rear.
