Rubbing Solution

Here is my current setup

Front - 19x8.5 +30mm offset 235/35/19
Rear - 19x9.5 +35mm offset 275/30/19

Tires are Hankook Ventus V12's and I have a 2011 335IS Convertible lowered on KW V2. I'm having slight rubbing from either the front left or back left, or both. I notice it on a few dips but mostly on an incline turning right. I'm definitely not slammed, it's flush, but maybe its the heavy back of the convertible?! What's the easiest solution? Roll fenders (it's a lease)? Raise up a click on the coilovers? Would tightening the suspension work? The car feels no different from its stock setup. I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

THIS or fender fender roll in the rear.

I suspect with an et30 offset up front you are going to rub on the shock or inside the wheel well when you take a sharp turn regardless of what you do. That's a very agressive offset. Try raising the co's up a 1/2".

The convertible system is quite heavy which isn't helping your cause. You'll need to fender roll to cure this issue.

I really think 275 in the rear is just too much for this car. I went with a 235/265 setup with the Toyo Proxes 1 and my car rides like a dream.
