hmmm... so its the tire rubbing the front passenger side fender.
Now for solutions? I heard from John (Alpinewhite) to cut the front fenders... Anyone know if this will solve it?
How bout raising the front a little bit higher.. ? Change to coilovers or is there like a rubber/spacer that I can use to raise the front by like 1/2 an inch...
It also seems the passenger front side is lower than the driver side front.
I'm going downstairs to take pictures now... so ha! I know you people are fiends for pictures cause I am too.
Any advice is welcomed!

I have Nitto 555's with HR Sport springs...I had to cut my front fenders, cut some of the plastic (front), and slightly roll the rear fender. Now it doesn't rub at all!

Nerwyll, you said cut this plastic piece? can i see a pic? show me what you did? And spacers.. doesn't that make the front vibrate in due time? and also would I need new lugs?
What if I get coilovers? will that help?

Quality spacers with the correct longer lugs should not cause vibration. It's worth a try but good spacers aren't cheap.
As for cutting fenders, I wouldn't consider that and option for me. I drive my car in all types of weather, opening the wheel wells to allow water, dirt, salt into the body/engine compartment would be bad.
My love for modding ends at making non reversible changes that devalue the car, seriously devalue the car...
Rubbing issues are the risks you run when you go up 2 inches in wheel size.
