Default Vortech 350z Rear tyres rubbing arches

I have 19" Kahn RS-V2 rims. 20mm spacers on the back and 285/35/19 tyres on the back too.

Everything on my suspension is still stock. When accelerating hard in a low gear, I can sometimes hear the back wheeels rubbing against the arches ever so slightly.

What do you guys recommend as a solution to this?

Roll the rear fenders, simple and easy.

Can roll them around 45 degrees. Will that be enough? My wheels are now quite flush because of the spacers so I'm worried it may still rub?

Why not just roll them full?

If you are afraid of rubbing even with them rolled, you need more camber or get a set of wheels that fits properly so you can use the minimal torque a Vortech puts out.

If you dont want to roll them fully, maybe contact a body shop and have them shaved.

Vortech is relevant how? The arches are the fenders? You should be able to see tire damage. Then move the wheels.

oh yeah, take off the rear spacers until you roll/shave your fenders and that should solve your problem for now

I can't believe this question was even asked

roll/cut fenders and/or remove or get smaller spacers.
