Default Rear Tire Rubbing

So the first thing I did was the 1.3" h&r lowering springs all the way around. The second thing was their spacers 20mm front 15mm rear. The front is perfect. The rear LOOKS perfect but rubs on hard turns and big bumps. The easy fix is just remove the rear spacers and it would still look good, but before I did that I just wanted to know if anyone has this setup and did any modifications like shave the liner? I just love how it looks but if there is no good option I will just remove the spacers.
thanks

Yep rear spacers have to go or the springs or the tires.

I can help you recycle those 15mm spacers and may be able to use them.

How much rub?

Different brands of tires have different shapes and profiles.

I believe other people are using that setup without trouble? Or did not not go as low?

I sure like being able to clear the little SUV parking stops they put out in parking lots in some places around here.

A lowered car would either hang out the back of the spot, or go crunch.

I know. I did alot of research on this site before I did what I did. I think most people doing the 20/15 thing are doing it on stock springs though. Luckily the 20 front is perfect. I think im just taking the rears out. It still looks good but isnt even close to worth sacraficing being able to take turns harder! Queen, im in California. where are you?
