im rubbing any ideas?
 
on my 93 rx7 I have a set of 18x9.5 wheels with yokohama avs sport 275/35 18's. on flat roads im fine but when I hit a bump Im rubbing the quarter BARELY. I have the eibach drop kit with stock shocks for now, any ideas? I have a set of (4) kyb gas shocks on the way because I wasnt sure if that would help, let me know asap

What's the offset of the wheels? That tire size is way too tall for the fronts. At most, you should be running a 265/35 and that will still rub if the offset isn't high enough. Running stiffer shocks and sway bars will also help.

The stiffer shocks will help, may not completely eliminate the problem tho.

275/35/18 is way too tall. You gotta go to a shorter overall diameter.

I should point out that the frots are 18x8 and they arent rubbing only the rear are rubbing

I run 285/30/18 on my 18x 9.5 Volks out back with a +40 offset. Never rubbed. I have problems with my fronts though.
