some people just remove all the plastic. I went to a smaller tire size.
With Tanabe DF210 springs, I tried 205/50/16 tires on 16 x 7 SportMax wheels +38mm offset. Way too much rubbing, so I went down to 195's -- can't really tell the difference and no rubbing!

Get some camber bolts. I have the same issue and my camber is off. Gaining some more negative camber will help fix the problem and even out tire wear

I am kinda thrown off by all the rubbing going on.

I ordered my Tein Basics today and I have 205/50/15 +40 offset and I plan on running them as low as they will go. Ha, guess I better plan on getting some spacers or bolts or something, eh?

Spacers make it worse. The rubbing described is on the outside of the wheelwell. The tire hits the fenderliner as circled in green in the picture above. It is really very minor, and sounds worse than it is.

Where did you get yours? Is that cobra a Mustang or a Superformance?
