Tire rubbing

Hey y’all. I recently just got wider wheels and tires on my camaro and it looks sick. Only problem is for some reason my driver side rear tire keeps bouncing up and hitting the fender on even the littlest bumps. I don’t have any issues so far on the passenger side but I also havnt been able to go very fast at all because of the other side. I’m guessing its probably the rear springs because I believe they are the originals so they are 37 years old. I also thought about raising the back end a little too with some spacers. Any advice on that? Also my back axle seems to be shifting and I can’t figure that out either. Thanks in advance for the help

Re: Tire rubbing

Thank you. I had actually just ordered an adjustable Panhard bar. I also think I’m gonna put some cool spacers on to lift up the *** end for these big wheels

Re: Tire rubbing

It could be your rear springs are old and weak, could be your rear shock is old and weak. Is the car lowered? If so your rear end probably isn't centered under the car and as IROCZman15 mentioned an adjustable Pan Hard Bar would help re-center the rear end. You could go with rear weight jacks and springs then you can adjust the height as needed.
