Last season, I ran 205/55/16 Goodyear Eagle RS-A all seasons mount on 2002-2004 WRX Rims. I believe the offset is 52, but someone can correct me please.
Anyhow, my driver-left fender had a small "impression" in it when I purchase the car. Rather than spend $500 fixing the problem, I spend $150 worth of labor & body filler. From an aesthetic standpoint, you can't really tell it was ever there to begin with. However, the distance between the tire lip and the body says otherwise. I even "rolled" the lip (more like flattened it) and there is still rubbing.
I have AGX's with H&R Sport Springs, which lower the vehicle about .75"-1" or so. They are progressive springs, so are pretty soft at first, but stiffen quickly. The rough spacing in between the tire and the strut's spring perch is about .5"-.75" with the 205's I was running.
What are some suggestions to fix this rubbing issue.
