I recently upgraded to M167 OEM wheels and I have found that if I have any substantial weight in the rear seat....the tires will rub when hitting dips or bumps. I think its time to upgrade my suspension. All ideas welcome!!

what tire sizes are you running?
If you are running 245/35 F 275/30 R you could get some rubbing w/ sport pkg suspension + weight in the back, but you could always just roll your fenders a bit to clear the rear tires...

I love the look of these wheels on this car, but I would like to eliminate the rubbing if I can

I would try rolling the fenders first before swapping out the suspension

M167's are my favorite! I miss my set.
But then again, I am riding on some nice iForged 20's so I'll be alright.

I'd say your stock OEMs are done in the rear and possibly in the front depending on the mileage you have. Time for some KSport coilovers!
