I've had my new wheels on my car for a couple of weeks now with no problems until I had my first passengers in the back seat (3 people, weight about 450lbs). Had serious rubbing issues practically on every little bump. I'm running on the stock sport suspension. Have not lowered it yet in fear of this problem. Rear wheel and tire sizes: 20x10 and 285/25/20 Michelin ps2's.
I've heard people rolling their fenders and doing this usually fixes the problem. Does anybody have any pics of their fenders rolled. Not sure what part of the fender to roll. And for the ones that did this on there own, what did you use to roll the fenders?

if you have really aggressive offsets, no amount of rubbing will cure that
do you know where the rubbing is happening?
is it on the outer or inner part of the tire?
if its inner, your offsets are too much and youll need to get a spacer
if its outer then rolling your fenders should suffice
the other possibility is that your rear tires are too thick or wide
I would start with where does it rub

i have my 20inx10 miro et 25 in the rear with 275/30's. I had 3 guys in the back of my car last night and they weighed about 545 pounds, plus i have a sub, golf bag, and some tools in my trunk. I say my rear had had around 700 pounds in it last night for the first time ive had my wheels and i didnt get 1 rub with my setup. i also have a stock suspension (non sport)
Like ptl said figure out where the rubbing is coming from. I have a feeling the 285 in the rear might be the problem.
