Did no one catch this?

DO NOT drop your car until you find out what is rubbing. If you have the wrong offset wheels and the car is rubbing at the height it is at now, you will be burning the tire off the rim in no time if you lower it.

First thing you need to do is find out exactly WHAT is rubbing. Is it front or back? Which side? Both Sides? Is it only when turning? Does it rub more with more people in the car? Find all that out first. Hopefully it will be an easy fix. Worst case scenario someone threw some wheels on your car that are not the proper wheel (offset) and there may not be anything you can do about it (depending on how bad it is) but get new wheels.

Hope this helps to get you started! Let's keep our fingers crossed it's nothing major!

thats why I said get 18"s then lower it.
I personally am not a fan of increasing rotating mass, but maybe thats just me.
