I just bought evo 8 17" enkei wheels today, took it for a quick run to only find they're scrubbing the guards any way to fix this without having to spend too much money

thats exactly the same wheels I run with no problems at all... Take the guard liners out

Could be a different offset though couldnt they?

Where exactly are they scrubbing? On full lock or continuously or going over bumps?

So far going over bumps that causes the scrubbing, could adjusting the coil overs also help give clearance and camber / wheel tuck
Just hardened the coil overs now : / haha

Yep, that would probably help.If you arent prepared to do that, youll have to lose the guard liners like Sahin says

Update
-Stockies are back on 2 are down to the bulbs....
-Removed front guard liners
-Coils hardened (somehow feels better than softened coils )
-Need to remove rear liners still.
-Wheel offset still seems wide on the back and front and can't roll front guards unless I go back to oem , not sure if spacers were run or what kind if they were, do your tyres line up slightly wider than the guards sahin?

What tires profile are you running? Mine seriously do not scrub at all anywhere

235/45 , found problem number 1, hubcentric spacers...

That would be your problem right there. Tyres.

235/45 and a lowered car would cause the scrubbing.

Yeah I run 215/45

Will removing the spacers give more clearance to the guards, since i can't really roll the front being fiberglass

25mm billet hubcentric spacers

plus removing the rear liners, should give enough clearance until I can slowly get the money to change the tyre widths

Rear liners? Wut
And with the front guards being fibreglass you can just cut them you don't have to roll them but I haven't had to do that...

Oops guard liners

The rear does not have removable guard liners! Its part of the chassis and is metal

Haha yeah that would defs scrub everywhere on 235/45 with those enkeis. I can only get away with it as I'm running +20 offset. The spacers will be helping your cause, see if u can get bigger ones!

Also get a wheel alignment and raise it up a bit
