car is a fox with 275/40/17 and car rubs with a passenger in the car....fenders are rolled and i beat the hell outta the inners.i put a stiffer spring and that help but the car still rubs....rearend is also a 4 lug disc and the rub is only on passenger side....it seems that the passenger side sticks out a little further then driver side does anyone else have this issue?will i be able to get it to not rub at all?or is 265/40/17 my best option

Your rearend is moving more to the right. You reinforce your torque boxes?

Does the car have adjustable upper control arms? If so, you can center the rear by adjusting them.

Yes, you can shorten one side and lengthen the other to center the rear.(uppers)

Mine too. Well it stopped now that I'm breaking the lower torque boxes N it seems like its centering more. Now it's time to reinforce the lowers to get it perfect.

I don't think the his axles are too long, maybe a little off on the offset, but try to center the rearend better, did you get the new 275/40/17s?
