So I just got my car to the height I want it to sit at pretty much. Wheels are 18x9.5 +15 with 235/40s all around. Im still rubbing somewhere and im not for sure where it is.
Fenders are rolled all around and the tires are about one finger from them in the front and a little less than a finger in the rear.
I shaved down the rear tabs pretty far so I dont think thats where its hitting so I believe that pretty much exlcudes the rear.
As far as the front goes the top parts and some of the side parts of the fender liners are gone. The sidemarker area is all gone basically except for the top part where the screw is, I think this is probably where the rubbing is but im not sure, Ill work with it more tomorrow, but do any of you guys have suggestions of an area im overlooking?
Ill put up pics tomorrow also.
EDIT: When I say one finger, I mean thats all I can squeeze between the tire and fender not that the fender is that far above the tire.

me! conventional jacks don't work for my car...
my buddy has to use his jack made for Corvettes (seeing how their jack point is in the middle of the car)
so his jack is very low and long.
driving up 2x4's doesn't work either, i'd have to go up 10 steps to fit a normal jack under my car.
stupid, i know...
