205/50r16 how to lower without rub?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I ran 16x7, 195/50/16, +32, dropped 1.5" and rubbed until I added some off-the-shelf washers for camber.

I am assuming that your rub is occuring in the rear. Correct?

no the rubbing was up front.. i was on clipped springs and only about an inch of the ground, so maybe that was my problem, couldnt even drive over a speedbump.

im thinking of picking up a set of trd springs, i already have tociko blues still on there, i had to but the stock springs back on because of a wreck i got in, insurance doesnt like modified cars lol

That's EXACTLY why you were rubbing - cut springs. Springs are not meant to be cut.
Buy aftermarket ones that already have a drop you want and you should be good.
MicroImage just brought in a bunch. Check them out, too.
