are you sitting on some rediculously sized wheels?

are you sure your springs were installed properly?

what brand did you use?

get your fenders rolled or even cut.

I had the same problem with my 19X8 and the tein springs.You have to roll the rear fenders or use a rubber mallet and hammer it back.Heat the paint with a hair dryer so it doesn't crack when you roll them back.Good luck.maximus

if youre gonna roll your fenders, heating helps. but also, use a razor blade and cut along the undercoating just inside of the rear fender, that way when you bend the fender edge back, the stock paint isnt pulled along with the fender.

wow, i have had 2 different sets of 20' rims/tires and 1 set of 19' rims/tires and all of them were 8.5' wide and never had that problem before. i even had airbags at one time and never had any problems. i now have tein springs with agx struts lowered with 20's and no rubbing at all.
