Hey guys,
Question about tire rub. My rear wheel size is 9,5 with +20 offset .The tire is BFG KDW (1st generation) 275/40/18 . The car is lowered using Eibach springs with 1,2 inch drop in the rear. Will this rub? I heard that KDW’s are wider then any other tires of the same size.
Should I have a fenders rolled or just get SPC kit and run more negative camber? I would rather deal with faster tire wear then corrosion and chipping paint.
Waiting for opinions..

Before I got the rims I was thinking about spacers. But once I put them on the wheels would of stuck out. Looking like one of those mexican low riders. I'm going to go to a 285/30 and that will look more flush. Your sidewalls probably roll in like mine.

My thinking is you probably will rub occassionally....put a passenger in the car, and it will rub frequently. No amount of camber solved my rubbing...I rolled the rears and never had a problem again
siz3Mike - your car does not rub because 1. you are not very low at all and 2. you run Toyo's. Swap to a different tire (the toyo runs a bit smaller than most in a given size) and you'll be rubbing constantly
