Rear Wheels rubbing??

Hey guys, first issue/thread.

Car:2008 E92 Sprt Pkg

I just installed 19" Rd2's and they look pretty good ill be posting pics of it soon. However my rear tires are rubbing up against the fender, would a simple fender roll solve this problem?

Im more concerned about my cornering since the body roll causes the wheels to rub as well.

Anyone know good shops in the Toronto area who may be able to help me out?

Thanks.

Please share similar experiences

I cant believe you even got these to fit at all!!! Isn't the rear offset 22 on these? I wanted these so bad, but was afraid of having your current rubbing problem. Is the rubbing really bad? You might be able to fix it with fender rolling and negative camber, but I don't think you'll be able to lower it....

P.S. Take some better pics please!

Tru...with a really stretched tire, (if you dont mind that look) you could probably achieve lowering too. If im not mistaken those are 10" rear barrels.

The rolling is not too bad I mean a hard bend or bumpy road would rub.

Im not looking to lower the car at all im pretty happy with the height. I would like to tighten the suspension a bit maybe grab a prokit with the stock height?

I currently have 265's in the back and 235's in the front.

Ill post better pics soon

Maybe a coilover kit would be good too
Damn. I can't imagine how it would look in person..
