Don't know how to get rid of the tire rub anybody deal with issue
 
Did you adjust the camber at all? What is your wheel/tire setup - sizes/specs?
 
Indeed, specs will help.

If the tire is contacting the suspension you may need to run a small spacer. A 3mm should fit on the stock studs. Do not go any larger unless you get extended studs. More than 3mm is unsafe.

Now the real question....

:popcorn: how long until OP comes back to see if he got an answer.....

It's a 2014 sedan stock rims and tires it looks like I'm rubbing the inner fender and no I kept the camber where they were set at out of the box right in the middle
 
Some people have ripped the entire fender liner out if they're real low. Pics of what your setup looks like?
 
I'm going to try rolling the fenders I have an Eastwood fender roller cause I raised the car a little bit and there's a good amount of wheel gap yet and it still rubbing where the tabs are for the fender liner so I think regardless I'm going to have to roll them I was just trying to avoid it but I guess you can't have the best of both worlds
 
aaaannnnnnd.... months later I guess the guy is still running cut springs and rubbing the stock wheel setup with maybe rolled fenders.....

@Nix the guy was running D2 coils not springs. Not sure where he went but I'm faced with the same rubbing in the front problem.
Now I haven't had the alignment done so I don't know what the camber is on the front but it rubs once in awhile. I was looking at it tonight after work and thinking I might raise the front 1/2".
I'm curious what everyone else that has lowered their car has done to prevent this other than removing the fender liners.

Are you slammed?:giggle::hiding: When I had my Eibach Sportlines springs installed (close to 2" drop) it also rubbed at the front sometimes. At that time I had factory 18" wheels on.

Currently there is no wheel gap @Michal006 so it's seems to me that unless I run more camber I have to either raise the from a little more or try running the dampers a little stiffer.
 
The fender liner is held in by metal tabs. If you are rubbing on the tabs you can bend them up slightly, remove the liner clips, and tuck the liner behind the tabs to hold it in place. Should give you a little extra clearance if you only occasionally rub.

That's exactly what I did @Nix
Thanks for that advice.
I'lll also check the amount of front camber I have when I get the alignment done.
