Never mind, it is the fender liner that im rubbing on. Or at least I think it is. Im dropped on 350z eibach pros so its about a 1.5" drop. How is this avoided if you go any lower?
You can kind of see in these pics where its rubbing the tire. Its right where the top and sidewall meet.

Im tucking tires and dont rub at all. The only thing right over the tire is the upper A arm or the fender liner

This is strange, only thing inside our fender wells is the liner. Is it possible your shocks are shot/wasted aka worn out? I've only bottomed out once when I discovered a 6" drop going 80 MPH on the Long Beach fwy. I'm on adjustable Bilsteins and lowered 1+" F & B without issues. Have an alignment/brake shop check your shocks. How many miles on your G?

Its not the fender liner. Ill try and take pics. But its an 05 with 40k. The front shock doesnt relly bottom out, its like the tire runs out of upward space. The rear however feels like it bottoms out all the time over somewhat big bumps. I have about 1/2" cut off the springmount.

mabye rubbing on the fender or the screws that hold the liner into the fender. specs on wheels and tires would help

^^^What he said.
You need narrower tires or more negative camber in order to clear your fenders. You are rubbing on the inside of the fenders where the screws are.

Yea when I looked that seemed to be the problem spot. Wheels are 20x9 +15. Tires are 245/35/20. I know I should have gotten 245/30/20.
