So you think I do need a new rear rotor?

And no.. no one has looked at the car, but I'm assuming the Sedan and the Coupe have different rear rotors and right now my COUPE has SEDAN REAR rotors and I need the Coupe Sport rear rotors.

The hub is around 1.75 inches, check if yours is the same size. I'm talking to a friend right now and he's saying that the reason why the rear is so much bigger because of the e-brake is in it.

yeah somethings wack. +37 def wouldn't be out that much in the rear..you can fully tuck +37 offsets.

I'd also run some smaller beef for rubber.

I guess Jeb does not know our fenders are already "rolled" and flat. The only other thing you could do would be pull the fenders but that only gets you a couple mm. If you lower the car your wheels will natually camber in and your wheels should fit with those size/offset.

I have the same wheels and same offset and same size rear tires, and the rears on mine dont stick out like that on Eibach PK's, its actually aligned flush with the fender. An eibach drop might not get rid of the rubbing, it my just make it worst actually.

Here's 2 options for you.
You should either get oem or aftermarket rear coupe rotors, or do the drop and run stretched tires. (255/30/20) or (265/30/20)

Our fenders come rolled from factory, what Jeb probably meant was "pull" the fenders. But that should be your last resort.

thats what i thought that it was the sedan rotors, u need to run a lot of neg camber to make that not rub. but everyone else was saying just lower. i just would change out the sedan rotors and replace with coupe rotors regardless of the problem there is something wrong with the set up becuz those offsets should NOT be sticking out like that.

275 aint stretched, you gunna need 255/30 or maybe u could do 265/30, then up front 235/35 or 235/30

are you running positive camber? cause something is out of whack and new rotors isn't the solution. i highly doubt that'll do anything for you. this setup isn't aggressive so idk what to tell you. you're positive it's a +37 offset?

The sedan and coupe rotors are 100% the same. If you are not lowered, a 10.5" +37 will poke out a little bit. I can't believe someone has not made that clear and you are getting the run around like this.... There is absolutely nothing wrong with your car. The rotors look different because of the way Stoptech integrates the parking brake on the rear.

There are only two ways around the issue (and this has been pointed out). You will have to lower your car, which will in turn increase the negative camber, and tuck the wheels in. Or, you can install a camber kit and tuck the wheels with an alignment change.
