No way the lip makes it in and out of your driveway

@munchy: it looks like you're running minimal camber in the rears. if the rears is your problem, go get it realigned and ask for more camber. it will fix your lip-to-fender problem (that is, if you are in fact running minimal camber) don't be scared of camber. won't technically make your tire wear 'faster', you'll just get some whack wear pattern. but i'm sure this is all old news hahah. just chiming in with what i know/observed :D

edit: and maybe for you next set of tires, down the sidewall to 30? could fix the rubbing issue as well (maybe???) *just another idea

edit2: or just pull the quarters out a tad bit, depending on how badly it's hitting the lips. i don't think that would hurt, except that it'll look whack if you run anything less than a 19x11ET(25-18=7). 'flare' shouldn't be necessary (and, imo, avoided if possible :D)

I'm currently running -4 camber all around. Probably going to go to -4.5 or so in the rear after raising the right side a bit. The right side is literally eating the sidewall of my tire.

Unfortunately my front camber bolts are some what seized in the bushings so those are stuck at -4.

Again, I'm also going to max stiffen the rear shocks to avoid the fender compressing down too much.

It seems that I'll have to cut all the liner tabs from the front fenders and raise the rear a bit and stiffen the suspension to the max so that it doesn't compress all the way down and continue hitting wheel lip on fender.

Not to mention cleaning all the burnt rubber off my fenders

Pics tomorrow...
I had to do all this too. Though I'd cut out all the fender liners just to be safe. My rear fender liner got snagged by my wheels and took an electrical abs line with it. And if you're still having trouble with the markers, you could try shaving a little of the inside off with a dremel. Did you figure out what your sidewall is getting shredded on?

I have absolutely no liner in the front anymore.

Full liner in the back though. I don't really rub on the top of the liner anyways.

The sidewall is shredding on the edge of the fender itself.

Oh that sucks hahah. Get those bolts fixed!! Do you not want to run camber? Because, from what I can see, more camber would solve your problems, no? I'm sure you're capable of more than -5.5 in the rear as I'm running -5.6 and you look lower than I am

I'm definitely gonna go buck wild in the back. The front isn't so bad but I'll ask about solving the problem. My friend is scared to break the bushing and then have the car stuck for even longer.
