tires hitting fenders

i just recently bought some ipp coilovers they ride a lil rough but i noticed through a ver sharp turn my tires are coming in contact with the fender wels and its really messing up my tires not to mention my fenders lol, but i was wondering what i should do to fix my problum? the car is fine to drive daily but through a turn you can here it grind the fender, should i just get fender flares from RFR? or should i rasie it a bit mabey? i was trying to stay as low as i could without sacrificeing the turning ablity, any ideas???

the top clevis bolt should be slotted (though the IPP had many design problems, I doubt this would be another one) and allow camber adjustment. Fender flares won't help until you get the metal out of the way or raise the car up to clear. You already have damn stiff springs.

yeah i raise the car up yesterday and it rides better and the fronts arent hitting the inner fenders anymore, its just what do i need to get rid off in the fender so that i can go lower, i dont know if there is a sticky or how too on this, so any help would be awesome

you'll need to roll your fender (well, depending where it's actually hitting) to make more room inside, or go with a shorter tire like a 225/45-17 on a 17x7 wheel. Those tires will be roughly 1/2" shorter than a 215/50.

If your car is anything like mine, rolling the fenders wont help. Mine are rolled, and I still get BAD rubbing. I'm sitting on the stop rings with the Mopars. The spot where it rubs is where the bumper and fender/quarter panel meet up. It's even rubbing away my bumpers.

I'm going to raise the car up a 1/2" and see if it helps, if not I will be getting stiffer springs if I don't end up selling the car.
