Default Still rubbing after new tires :(

My is250 is on eibach springs with forgestar wheels

I was told getting 265/30/19 in the rear and 225/35/19 in the front would stop the rubbing, but after installing the tires today im still rubbing.

Any ideas? Do I need to shave the fenders? I don't know the offsets of my f14s I bought the car with those wheels haha

your not rubbing the fender. ur rubbing the linear. my guess is drive side bottom square nicky piece or top left linear which is almost un avoidable untill it rubs itself out

My guess is that you are rubbing against the plastic panel. Use a heat gun and push it in.
