Default 245/30zr22 front 285/25zr22 rear, dropped tein h tech rubbing...

i just put on my rims 245/30zr22 front and 285/25zr22 rear. i am dropped on tein h tech. after leaving the shop it was rubbing, so i went back and he shaved alittle metal in the back near the bumper. it is still rubbing on dips but not as much. i am thinking what can be rubbing, maybe the rear wheel well.
should i just put the stock springs back on. anyone with 22s on there car please let me know thanks..

why don't you mark your tires with some chalk, take it for a spin,
and see where the chalk rubs off......

Take it to a good body shop or tuner shop and they will be able to get those big *** wheels to fit. The white GS that we have seen dropped on 22's had to have the bumper brackets shaved and the fender liners heated and molded, and also shaved and rolled fenders. where there is a will, there is a way. post some pics soon man. I am dying to see how she looks

damn amn i just realized you are running a 285/25/22 tire in the rear. that is a full tire to be using. I think the other dude with the slammed 3gs on the twinkies was using a 265/30. I can check for you. I have the magazine

That is crazy that you have to do all of that. I have mine dropped on 22's with no rubbing at all and no type of modifications to get it to fit either. I have mine sitting on tein s techs and I can hit speed bumps with the car full of passengers and luggage and no issues at all(took a family trip to Disney World). My wife drives the car as well so it coudn't have any issues. The first thing I suspect is your tire setup. It seems really big.
