Re: Need help with rear lift
Those wheels simply have too little backspacing. Wrong wheels for the car, period. Not much you can do that will make em fit any better. Raising the car won't really help. Especially since by the time you do, the car will look about like those mud-bog buggies they run down in Florida and Louisiana. Little narrow pizza-cutter tires like 255s stuck way out in space just look bald-faced laugh-out-loud STOOOOPID on cars in 2013.
Plus, if you were to raise the car enough to keep the tires off the fender wells, you'll eliminate any possibility of having any traction, by sending the car into wheel-hop hell even worse than it already is. (makes the already BAD factory suspension geometry EVEN WORSE)
Sell em and get something that fits better.
