It has to do with your wheels size and offset, are you rubbing the splash guards or something else. Its stupid to drive like that BTW.

Post wheels specs for proper help

whys it stupid to drive like that

+35 245/40/18 fronts
+35 275/40/18 backs

i have a little bit of negative camber, noticable, so if i wear the tires down a little, should be ok then right lol

or should i change the fronts? rears are fine

When posting offsets, it helps to include wheel width... That said, 245/40/R18 is a pretty tall tire, a 35 series would probably help some of your clearance issues depending on where the rubbing is.

It can be done, but you probably need spacers in the front.

its rubbing on your STOCK SUSPENSION so either get coilovers or spacers, fixed
i am running 245/40/18 up front with coils and about 8mm spacer and have no problem, and i didnt have a problem before i added the spacer either.
