All, I am experiencing some fender rubbing issues...

I am running 19x9.5 with 34mm offset at the back. I had 275x30 PS2s on the back previously. I thought i heard some rubbing. However, I was never sure. I took the car on track recently and during hard cornering, could hear some serious rubbing. So after getting the car back home, I noticed that the paint on the inner lip (rear half) was scuffed off down to the bare metal. OUCH!

My first solution was to downside the tires. I drove the car over to Simply Tire and got some 265 Hankooks installed. Unfortunately, it's still rubbing. The damn strip on the sidewall is the culprit. So before I take the car into a bodyshop to do a spray on the inner fender (god knows I hate rust), I am considering rolling the fenders. Any recommended shops you guys have used? I did a search and found Wheels & Tires Zone and Bimmersport. Thoughts on either?

PS: I also contacted Engineered Automotive (someone's recommendation). They said that they will not guarantee the work because the paint cracks easily??? It's contrary to what others have said on this board. So please help. Thanks!

Nevermind. Just saw that you are from BC.

Anyone with any thoughts?

Bimmersport can do it.

Is your car slammed? 19X9.5 et35 doesn't seem so aggressive that it would rub? Then again, E92 is slightly different than E90

RMP can do it for you.

Oh yeah. Like I said, the paint is gone. I see bare metal.

Just got it done at Wheels and Tires Zone in Mississauga. Looks good on the surface and doesn't seem to be rubbing anymore. When I get home from work today, I will take a closer look.
