well well i recently bought as new set of coupe wheels for my sedan.
ive decided to start my own thread on this because the answers im looking for seem kind of scattered and i keep losing them! i wanted to get some feedback from some other sedan drivers with the forged (coupe) wheels. i currently have a set of tein h techs i believe which lower my front 1.3/rear 0.7. the problem im having is some serious rubbing in the rear only when i have 3+ people in my car. i know its b/c of the rear forged wheels so ive thought up a few solutions...
1) putting my oem rear springs back on since the drop was only .7 i think this would solve it?
2) someone told me the x springs will lower my g .5 instead of .7? i still wouldnt doubt if my rears still rubbed though? also would getting a stiffer strut help out lets say from g35x as well or coupes? tokico?
3) replacing my rear oem tire size 245/40/19 to 245/35/19? but i think they are size 40 for a reason maybe it smoothens things up??
4) getting another pair of FRONT coupe wheels and putting them on so they are all the same size lOL ??
5) and of course ROLLING MY FENDERS but i dont think it would clear still? those rear wheels on the coupes are chunkier than i thought!
dont kill me

I have shaved my rear fender with s-tech drop and coupe wheels and i have no problem at all. about 1/4 inch of the tire is under my rear 1/4 panel and still no rubbing what so ever. Best solution is roll/shave the fenders and problem is solved.
