How much room is between the tire and the rear frame? Could you go with a half inch different offset to bring the wheel closer to the frame?
@gmsmokeshow4437

The tire has about a half inch gap from the frame so if it would work it would be extremely close to rubbing.

Yes the front has Hotchkis 2" lowering springs and the rear has air shocks that I use to adjust the height. So you should be fine but as I said in the video my car rubs very lightly on one side in the rear. I hope this helps you!
