19" oem rims rub on my sedan

So I finally found some 19" coupe rims and put them on my car, love the look & handling, but they rub sporadically. Before I bought them I searched the forums and didn't read anything about the stock rims rubbing. It happens when going over a dip in the road, or when I have four people in the car. Other then rolling the fender, what are some things I can do to prevent this.

Hmm that's wierd. Have you lowered your car? I have the Tein's on my ride and have had 4 people in my car and no rubbing while driving on the interstate. Even over the speedbumps. Granted I went over the speed bumps at an angle but still....

Besides rolling your fenders, you can increase the negative camber on the rear wheels so that they aren't angled directly at the fender lip.

I suggest you get a set of OEM 350z springs or Tein H-Tech's- they may give you that negative camber you are looking for without requiring a fender rolling.

when all else fails, use hub-centric wheel spacers.

Wheel spacers would make the problem worse. Negative camber or rolling the fenders are the only way to avoid the problem. Negative camber will bring the top of the wheel in away from the fender. The obvious drawback is increased/uneven tire wear.

Why do some of the pics look like they are all garbled?
