ive got eibach sportline springs, and 315's out back... you need to roll the inner fender pinch weld at the rear of the tire, or it will rub

I think you are referring to the quad shock?
I have heard of a few people swapping the passenger side quad to the drivers side and vice versa to avoid contact.

If you upgrade to aftermarket lower control arms you can probably take off the quads altogether.

If your car is dropped below 1.5" you may have rubbing issues.

315's look deadly in the back.............I guess you already know that.hence the post!

There are other techniques..........baseball bats, cutting slats and bending the metal back, etc.......but if not careful you could cause damage.
You could also get it done at a body shop for $$$ too.

Hey there,

315's/35/17s on the back, 17 x 10.5" wheels, Eibach Pro-Kit - no rubbing. Same setup on the car in the background - also no rubbing.

Hope this helps some
