Rear Tires Rubbing Again, Suggestions?

I've had a rear tire rub on the passenger side for a while now but after some work now its on both sides!

Yesterday I put in a set of lca reloc brackets to help take care of the nasty wheel hop from my 98 Camaro being lowered. Took care of that part great :) But now instead of just the passenger side rubbing the drivers does too. I will attribute that to what else I fixed while I was under there. The rubber spring mount on the drivers side was apparenty not installed correctly when the springs were put in so the spring was 1/2 off of it. We placed the spring back in it. Now both sides rub.

Can you run the car with thinner ones to raise up the car a bit?. I am going to dremel away some of the inner quarter lips or roll them.

For refrence I have 18x10 wheels on the rear with 295's. I am unsure of the wheel backspace I can't find the sheet.

Thanks!

"Can you run the car with thinner ones to raise up the car a bit?"

Tires right? Like running a 275/35/18s,or 285/35/18s
Or maybe 275/40/18s, or 285/40/18s in the rear instead of the 295s?

If your going to use the dremel I would still first roll the fender lips up to at least a 45 degree angle.

By thinner I meant the rubber spring isolators, but I guess it would need to be a thicker one and from what I've found energy suspension makes thicker ones but not by much.

I do not want to buy smaller tires, since I spent over $700 on these and the previous set / same size but different brand did not rub. I am going to try the heater hose mod + the spring isolators to give the car a bit of a lift and roll the lips.

Any suggestions on doing the roll. I've read doll rod trick where you heat up the lip and then roll it with a doll rod on the tire as the car rolls slowly?

Do you possibly mean a "dowel" rod? Probably wouldn't be strong enough. Most people use a baseball bat. But it the car has been lowered enough, maybe you need a small diameter dowel rod.

Yeah, I found a pretty decent writeup on that method actually. So I am going to try it.

I will probably go with the Airbags as you had suggested in my previous thread on the subject a while ago as well. I love the stance of the car and I love my lack of wheel hop. I just want to not feel like I'm about to shred a tire when turning or hitting a bump now :(

I did mine almost the same way, except I used a old wooden baseball bat, and I didn't roll(rotate) the bat from left to right. I just started in the middle and raised and lowered the jack a little and repositioned the bat incrementally further to the left and right each time. I repeated this process 4-5 times until the lip was rolled almost all the way back. With a good floor jack, and patience it'll turn out great!
Good luck!

Are you referring to the bumpstops? SLP makes a shim for these that increases them by about 1/4". They put them on the cars when they added the 17" rims. My bumpstops just fell off recently (old age I think) and I added these shims - no rubbing now... I bought them on ebay.
