So I installed coilovers and now my 275/40/19x10+35 square setup rubs. The camber is 0 and ride height it the same as before when I was on BMR Handling Springs. It rubs on the passenger side inner lower front wheel well. The driverside doesn't rub at all. Can y'all help a brother out?

Why are you running zero camber?

Its rubbing the inside or the outside?
I cant see the rub marks too good but it appears to be rubbing on the inside. If I turn full lock I can feel the tire hitting the inner wheel well. I can only imagine it is hitting it on turns when the tire rolls

So this is what my 275/40 l;ooks like against a 285/35. Im thinking the 275/40 is too tall

Even a 275/35 looks like it would be better

I guess you could add more camber and try again, it's a bit of a pain to adjust camber with these tops, can't really do it in the car.

I'm running -2.2 with a 275/35r20 on a 30 offset, also on BCs. I do get some rubbing on the outside, but I am quite low

Welp looks like im on to something. When I turn left and it rubs it only does it in gear, which means that the drivetrain is loaded up.

Sure enough my passenger side longtube is really close to the frame so I loosened my motor mounts and shifted the engine slightly.

After that the noise is not as bad and it takes a really quick snap of the wheel to get the rubbing sound. So I guess tomorrow Ill take the car to the muffler shop and get them to put a small dent in the header to get a little more clearance
