Another Rubbing Issue!
I am running enkei NTO3+m 18x9.5 with 255/35/18 potenza re01r's and when the the car is being turned fully it seems like the face or (sidewall) of the tire is rubbing inside the back portion of the wheel well (very front of sideskirt inside wheel well) when the car rides over any bumps or dips.
Is there a more stiff option for the shocks to not allow the tire to be compressed in the wheel well as much?
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help guys

If you are rubbing in the fender you should bite the bullet and roll or cut the small lip of the fender. If you mean the interior skirt, you should be able to see the wear pretty easily and cut it out. If you are removing a large piece you should probably somehow cover the hold, be it with duct tape or whatever. Something like the SpecR will resist compression but doesn't necessarily mean your issue will be resolved.
