Default YO my TIREs aRUBBIN

I've got some volk gt-c's 19x10.5's on the back of my 05 touring Z with some bridgestone 275/35/19's and I've got the TEIN S tech springs. I'm bottoming out all the time and my tires are scraping on the rear wheel wells. It didn't do this before I lowered it with the S techs. You guys think some tokicos or some Konis will fix this or should I just go back to the stock springs and look like I've got a lift kit on my car. I guess another option is get rims that aren't so wide.

Get the fenders rolled... then put wider tires.

Hmmmm.. that's funny because I have the same set up as you do (Tein s-tech springs with volk GT-C 19X9.5 front AND 19X10.5 rear (I'm pretty sure same tire size too) and I never had rubbing issues so far. I've had the rims on for about a year.

Are you running the same tires? It's not the wheels bro, it's the tires.
