Fixing tire rub issues

Hey guys,

I purchased 5-Zigen ProRacer ZR+520 Gun Metal 18" x 7.5" wheels w/Kumho Ecsta ASX 225/45R18 tires this summer for my 08 Lancer.




The car isn't lowered, but I experience some rubbing when I make turns at a faster speed (over 40/kmph), as well as over speed bumps when I crawl over them (which I do understand will happen always). The turns bother me, and wonder what to do about it. And this is when there's no extra weight in the car (just me...lol).

So what would I look at changing to prevent the rubbing on corners? An anti-sway bar for the rear to prevent the body from rolling as much as it does?

Thanks!

that would cause more rub wouldnt it since 40 is a wider tire?

I noticed that his new tires are a little taller however the diameter increases by only 4 mm which is not too much. That's why I asked about the offset.
