maybe you should just think about the tire profile.. if your using factory rims from a newer model chances are the tires too meaty.

put a pic of the rims up with the tire sizes..more then likely all you have to do is get new tires with a smaller profile.

ok but i just spent 600 on the tires brand new no exchanges so thats not gonna work its not mashing the inside of the tire down just rubbing enough to notice it. so if i put a 5mm wheel spacer in them i was thinking it would bring it out enough to stop it i don't need to move it out that much.

What size tire are you running on the 18's and how low is the drop from stock.

You really shouldn't have issues in the rear unless your running some tall tires...
