Wheels hitt wheel well, what to do?

Hey so I just put on 18 inch rims with the smallest tire possible, 215/35/18, and the front wheels hit the inside wheel well when I turn. The car is lowered, so what should I do? Thanks.

Get new wheels with more offset or wheel spacers.

BTW, that tire size sucks. You're sidewall is probably tiny.

+1, a 215 tire is tiny! I would look for another set of wheels that would fit properly without putting a tiny tire on. The ride has to be terrible on a 215/35??

Yeah I don't mind the ride, Its not too bad, but I just want to make sure the ride is safe haha. Would the rubbing cause any problems? Spacers seems like a good idea, getting new tires isn't really an option. If nothing works out, I guess ill sell the 18s and go back to 17s . The 18s look reaaly good tho.[IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]

I never rubbed in my ralliart. If you are rubbing it will just eat up your tires. I had teins in the front an nothing in the rear.
