Have a Question/s About Wheels/Tires/Offsets/Camber/Etc? Ask here::
Well you shouldn't need the alignment since you didn't change and suspension. It COULD be out of wack though.
9.5 +22 should not be rubbing what so ever on a stock height car. The fronts sound like they're probably rubbing on the fender liner screw at about 12 O'clock. Remove that and see if the rubbing goes away. The rear sounds like you have blown struts or the rear is sagging out and banging wheel.
Find someone to roll the fenders to be safe but I have never heard of a coupe rubbing with specs like that. My Z has unrolled fenders and its 10.5 +22 (12mm more aggressive than yours) and it doesn't rub even in hard corners.

I think i see the liner screws you're talking about. Heres a pic of where I think the tire is rubbing. You can see the marks on the sidewall pretty well, most of it wiped off though. This is from those screws right? And it's fine to just take them off?

Yea Calamity, looks like that is the issue. If you're getting them rolled the guy or shop should be able to point out and other problem spots (if he has any idea what he's talking about)
I removed one of those liner screws and it seemed to fix some of the front rubbing. The rear is still banging when I go over dips at a decent speed though.
The guy doing it is local, cheap, and real reputable, so i'm not too worried. Kinda makes me regret not getting the 19x11 rear now lol. Guess spacers and a drop will be in the near future though.

Specs:
19 x 9.5 -8 (spacers) 235/35/19 -3.5 camber (natural)
19 x 10.5 -2 (spacers) 255/35/19 - 3.75 camber (natural)
I want to go 5mm more in the rear but I need to drop down in tire size. Should I go with a 245/35 or a 245/40?

What kind of spacers you think i'd be best off with 4DGS? Especially to make the rear a bit more staggered.
Probably gonna get some springs soon too, until I can afford a camber kit.

Front = 20” x 9” +37
Rear = 20” x 10” +40
Dropped on Tein S-Techs. 2004 coupe.
will +25 mm spacers all around be fine without rubbing? Can I go +30 without rubbing?
Fronts are 225/35/20
Backs are 245/35/20
Updated with pictures! Still no spacers still thinking about spacer sizes.

so yea how far can I go without rubbing. Hope those pics help a little bit.

The ebay brand ones are about as good as ichiba and cheaper. I'd go with those if you don't plan to take them on and off once a week.

You mean the springs or spacers? I won't be taking them on/off often, if at all.
