Hi yumdawg25,
Your problem is a combination of factors:
1- Bigger wheels - 17 x 7"
2- Wrong offset (probably 40mm)
3- Lowered suspension
There are 3 ways to solve your tire rubbing problem:
1- Change your rims by other 43 to 45mm offset rims.
2- Roll your fender lip (which I disagre - will accumulate a lot of dirt).
3- Suspend your car to stock height - this would not resolve the problem but would reduce rubbing.
Note - "Hard" shox- IMHO won't work because AEM shox like Koni Sport or Bilstein HD do not "stiffen" on bumps, only on rebounds.
This way, when you hit a bump, your suspension travels all the way down freelly (only the springs are acting at this moment). Then, the springs respond pushing the suspension upward and the shocks will act (rebound).
Only dual action shox would help to reduce rubbing, but your ride would be very very harsh and very unconfortable.
Those shox are good only for racing purposes.
