Looks good. What suspension are you on? As for the rub, roll fenders, pull them, etc.

Can the front even be rolled? there isn't much of a fender there, its the liner that gets hit

Eibach Sportlines on Koni Yellows, I think lowest perch front... Lexani's old set

Hmmm, try pulling the fenders and maybe a 3-5mm spacer front and rear. What's the offset on the wheels now?

18x7.5 +45 225/45/18 tires <--- tire is probably why it rubs, lexani had 225/40 and i dont think he rubbed

wouldn't adding a spacer make rubbing worse? i think i will run the setup for awhile and see how much it bugs me and then eventually raise it by a perch all around if it bugs me

Its very possible its the tire. Ride it out for a bit and see what happens. Have you checked out the tire size calculator?

Raise the perches. I have the same Koni dampeners, just with Neuspeed springs. My passenger side rubbed the fender liner too until I raised the perch to the highest setting on the front. My rears are in the neutral position. Of course mine is a V6 coupe so the front is much heavier, which is why I had to raise it to the highest perch.
I wonder if the Sportlines have a higher spring rate than my Neuspeed race springs. I need stiffer springs in the rear because if I have a passenger in the back, the back rubs! FAIL.

thanks chris, glad someone with the similar setup could chime in

gonna ride it out, and then if it comes to it i will raise all around (rear maybe, depending on how i like the tucked look or how i rub when i get my alignment)

Its possible if you go up one perch all around, you'll still have a great ride height and you won't rub. Up to you.

Thats the most likely solution!

If you're  only rubbing fender liner, cut the fender liner.  Fender liners are cheap if you ever want to replace it.  If you're rubbing metal, then slightly roll the fender.

I'm actually surprised you are rubbing with a 7.5 +45 and 225 width tire.  You're more than likely just rubbing fender liner, which would mean cutting the liner so you don't rub against it.  Or you could do what I did when I had my Accord, be lazy about cutting it and just rub the liner until it stops rubbing, lol..

This is what I did for the first two years! My passenger side liner is worn away in the one spot it used to rub.

there is only 2 perches, not three like i thought
so i couldn't raise it, i got my alignment and I love how the car looks... i'll have to live with it or switch to 225/40/18

That looks really nice! Congrats!

I don't think the V6 is much heavier... Maybe 40 lbs
