275's / 20mm Spacers / Stock height = Rubbing!

Hey guys,

I just recently put on my Ichiba 20mm spacers and also threw on some 275/35/19's RE050A's on the rear of my car. It looks amazing, sits very flush. I'm still on stock ride height with the Eibach Pro Kit in mind for my lowering needs.

Now as it is I have slight rubbing on heavy dips and bumps. I'm afraid that once I get the Pro-Kit installed this rubbing issue will intensify and that's NOT what I want.

I've heard of many people on these boards who are trimming the felt inner lining to take care of this problem. Anybody have an FYI? or can give me some pointers on how to do this without totally ruining the lining itself? Maybe you guys can also post pictures of the trimmed lining?

Any bit helps!

Thanks!

I tried to tell everyone not to go more than 15mm but no one ever listens.

15mm would definitely work better but I don't think it's aggressive enough. I'm looking for mean offset without rubbing. I think with a little modification we'll be on our way. Thanks but no thanks the changing of spacers suggestions guys.

ya then trimming the liner is your best bet. dont forget you can also add some negative camber.
