I bought the rims today and just came home from the dealership. They look great (except the blasted and painted lip that need to be refinished) and they have really good (and expensive) yokohamas. The tires are almost new and i ended paying 600 for everything. I'm feelin' pretty good, but the only problem is whenever i corner or hit any kind of bump, the tire rubs the wheel well trim, and is scraping up the tire edge a little and the plastic on the car (its not visible but you can feel it). I don't know why the front has so much more space between the wheel and the above trim than the back, maybe because of my stereo equipment (???) which probably weighs 70 to 100 pounds. I saw something @ pep boys (i don't like buying parts there but i'm desperate) that you place between a coil on the spring that prevents the spring from compressing as much, and raises the ride height a little, which i could use. Is this safe? If not, what should i do keeping in mind that i just spent 600 which means i need a cheap solution to my BIG problem. I can't even go in my driveway without rubbing, and i don't even want to know what a speedbump would do. Any quick help would be awesome as i would like to resolve this issue promptly...
