So i have a lot of weight in my trunk and i need to know the best route to go as far as rear suspension goes.
Right now i have 18x7x5 rims and they rub everytime I hit a small bump. And they pretty much rub constantly if someone is riding we me. But i have alot of weight in the trunk do to my audio system. I have 2 10inch subs that weigh at least 40-50lbs each...plus the subwoofer enclosure and amp and other misc items in the trunk. And i plan on adding a extra battery for my audio system (battery weight about 70lbs).
I already know my shocks need to be replaced but will regular ol shocks and strut fix this rubbing problem or should i get coilovers or some high shocks..... OR??????

Thanks for your input.
Can anyone else chime in?
You must have some low offset WheelDude to be rubbing in that size

Spring lock spacer or spacer blocks.
Not even sure what my offset is but i have these.Originally Posted by greddy

the manufacturer's website says they are +40mm... you shouldn't be rubbing. what tire size r u running?Not even sure what my offset is but i have these.
Right now I have 235 40 18.
But I'm replacing them with 245 40 18 because my alingment was bad and ruined my tires. Got a real good deal on the 245's.

Website is not working. But u can pick it up at pepboys around performance section where they have the lift kit for the jeeps. I used it on my car. Raise the rear about 1/4 of an inch and it was stiff enough to not rub when I have people in the rear.
How much do they cost? Easy install?
there is your problem. you need 225/40r18. 245 will rub even worse than what you have now (not to mention, 245/40r18 is too tall and will throw off your speedo and will put added strain on your drivetrain).

all depends on how much space u have between the coil. the more gap, the easier it is to install. having a lift will help a lot, require removing the wheel and taking a load off the strut.
245/40 too big.
Do a fender roll to prevent rubbing.
So 225 should be the max?
Saw a good deal for 215 35 18's.... how will these work?
And what is a fender roll?
Just stick with 225/40's. That is your size, 215/35 is too small, you will bend your rims in no time.
Repeat after me
225/40
225/40
225/40
In order for me to tuck 225/35/20's along with a TEIN coilover drop, this is what I needed to do.

Doing a fender roll is not really needed tho with 18's???
Are you really sure about that? Depends on how low your ride height/size wheel/tire fitment will determine a fender roll. If it's rubing or close to get it rolled.

How big the rim is has nothing to do with having to roll your fenders it's the width in combination with the off set and tire size that your using. It's been said and I'll say it again in case you didn't understand the first time
225/40
225/40
225/40 = NO RUB
