Need some help.

Wasn't sure if I should post in wheels and tires since that's whats the problem, but figured it should be here because it would be the suspension that needs messed with. Anyways, my problem is that my driver's side rear tire rubs the inner fender when accelerating through a fairly hard corner, like in sig, has 17x11 r1's on the back, will these help? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku or do I need to do something else?

Why would a "jounce spacer" make a difference? You aren't rubbing the bumpstops, you're rubbing the fenders, right?
Do you have the rear axle centered with an adjustable panhard bar? If not, that may be your solution.

I thought the same but from reading the description provided, I wasn't sure, and I also thought if it helped then I would have seen someone talk about them on here. But I was thinking about an adj. panhard bar, was eventually gonna get one, but might be sooner than later, but strange thing is, about 2 months ago, I was driving hard with my dad in the car on a twisty road, and never hard a problem. But after going to the strip bout 3 weeks ago, it's done that when in a hard turn, scared me when I first heard it, thought it was the rear, but then I saw a new shinny spot on the inner fenderwell. Any suggestions on an adj. panhard bar for someone on a budget, best bang for the buck kinda thing?

if the car is not lowered and it just started recebtly you need to check your rear suspension parts. posible worn or broken bushings. you dont mentoin what sine tire you have on the back but i have 275 40 17 tires on 17 by 11 rims and at stock height they nevver rub. if you lowered the car they would rub for shure. i bought an adjustable bar from jegs for less than 100 bucks under the jegster brand which i think may be made by bmr. although i very well could be wrong. imo jegster is the best bang for the buck.

sorry, the tire size is 315/35 17, I've only had the car 4 months, but I'm 99% sure the car is not lowered since there is a decent amount of room tween the rear tire and the arch of the fender, and I'll have to check out the jegs brand bar, thanks.
