I am looking for some help/advice on where to start with my tire rubbing issues. I am currently running HKS adjustable springs, Michelin Pilots 275/35r19s front x 305/35r19s rear, and 15mm spacers rear and 13mm spacers in the front. Also I'm on supra spec TE37s. I'm getting a nasty rub in the rear under strong acceleration and over bumps at moderate speeds. Front seems to occasionally be rubbing under same conditios. Where do I start?

- Go and pay to have the adjustable springs raised up (seems springs have to come out to be adjusted)

- Remove the spacers all together and see what happens?

- Move the 13mm spacers to the rear and 15mm spacers to the front?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Drop to 5mm spacers or remove them entirely. I had to remove the spacers on the rear when I switched to 295/35/19 RT660s on the stock wheels due to rubbing.

Appreciate the feedback. I removed the spacers early this morning. It's raining here so I'll get it a test run this week.

Removing the spacers did the trick. Didn't even need to adjust the HKS adjustables. Likely to post these 13mm/15mm spacers for sales shortly. Appreciate it!
