WHat is the offset? Do you know?

That doesnt seem right. I had s-tech with 18x7.5's with a 40 series tire.

Your tires arent much taller being a 45 series, plus youre on h techs. Shouldnt have any rubbing problems unless you have some obnoxious offset...

Either you have some f'ed springs or you have some f'ed springs. You shouldn't be rubbing as much as you say with that combo of suspension mods + rims + tires.
