yea i know what you mean. i guess we all make errors in our life. all i know is, before i bought the spacers i researched and a lot of people that are running the same size said they have no issues. well i guess its all good. small little fix will take care of all that. thanx for all the input guys, greatly appreciated..
To the OP, glad you got it figured out. I agree a slight fender roll should take care of it.
And here's my unsolicited comment of the day: I don't understand why people think it's impossible for their tires to rub just because they do not have lowering springs installed. If your offset & width combination is making the tire stick out enough, and you hit enough of a bump to make the OEM springs compress to the point where the tire wants to tuck up into the wheel well, you're going to rub.

with stock tire sizes and no drop Im surprised your rubbing.
I havent read the whole thread but were your front tires turned when you were backing out? With 20mm spacers up front, your tires have a much better chance of hitting the fender...but then again yo dont have a drop.
