18x8 Hp's w/ 225/40R/18 & S-Tchs and I'm RUBBIN
It's probably due to the offset. The rear wheel wells are slightly wider than the front wheel wells. Add to the fact that the front end naturally (before you lowered it) sits lower and you can see why. Is it really that bad? I have 18x8.5 Fliks on TRD Springs and the only time I rub is when there are big dips (no, not people
) in the roads. Honestly, I don't know how to remedy your situation. (Without buying a different offset.) Sorry.

im also dropped on tein s-techs and mine are so settled...when i have the rims on in teh summer i also rub...both tires in teh front its ok i had my body shop check it out since the wheel wells are plastic the worst thing is it will melt the plastic but wont blow a tire..we ended up cutting the plastic out about12" on the top so now when i hit a bump or something when i woudl usaully rub i dont anymore..
