Offset and backspacing affect how the wheel sits on the car. And in fact that *can* also affect your alignment specs (toe, camber, and scrub radius). Just roll the fenders and call it a day.

Guys, I finally had my car aligned and the shop stated that the cause of the rubbing was my backspacing/offset of my wheels. I researched and the wheels I had prior (Fame Exel 18x7.5 offset 40) did not/and or never rubbed. My current wheels (R-1 Racing Drift 18x8 offset 40, offset HPO) rubs. The shop stated that my only other option is to have my fenders rolled. The difference between 18x7.5 and 18x8 wheels=rubbing? That's nutts!! Holla at me if I'm on the right track and if my information is correct-Sparky!!!
my prior wheel (fame exel) i got from wheelmax.com and my current wheel (r-1 racing drift) i got from wheelsnext.com ....if someone wanted to check behind me these are the sites to visit.
Did you read his post just two posts above yours?

Damn so .5" really makes the difference for you, rolling fenders would be the correct fix or add a little neg camber like Stewi said.
