Forgot to mention that these are sn95 axles. Would machining the wheel not potentially decrease the integrity of the wheel itself?Better shocks will help, but only so much. You need a way of limiting axle movement. The rear axle is still going to articulate and cause the tire to hit the fender lips. The wheel is protruding past the fender lip, so fender flares may be the only solution as there's not much you can do when the wheel sticks out past the fender by so much.
Is there room on the inside of the wheel to spare? If so, are you running fox-lenght axles? If you are, you could look at having the inner mating surface of the wheel machined to draw that wheel in a bit as well.
Only other solution is a wheel that fits better.
Yea I know they do stick out more than I thought they would. However, my 285’s on 17’s rub pretty bad also. I feel as if something could be mechanically improved to stiffen the suspension up a bit. The spacers are a great ideaThat is a bunch of wheel sticking out the wheel well. That 315 is not actually fitting...its poking out.
To keep the fender from hitting the tire will take more than shocks. These spacers go inside the coils of the spring and help keep the spring from collapsing. I use two on each side of my IRS. ( its been ran like that for 12 years ).
These work and will not pop out of the spring. Helps to keep the car from squatting too much.

I’ll look into the LCA’s. I think if I do fox axles I’ll need some serious massaging of the inner fender. Have about 0.5-1” of clearance or soDepends on how much you take off. There's a little bit of material to spare.
However, before you go there, I would explore if swapping to Fox-length axles would fix this issue. They will pull the rear wheels in 3/4" each side and that might fix your problem. You'd just need to see what you need to do to the inner wheel wells, but usually a BFH is the solution there.
I assume these are 94-98 Sn95 axles in a fox house, or an entire 94-98 housing. If it's an entire 99-04 axle, those are 1.25" wider each side and will definitely cause you problems.
Yes the fenders are rolled. I only need just a smidge of clearance also.. may end up running some 285’s if it’s gonna be this much of a headacheThe NVX wheels do not have the proper backspacing for a fox.. the problem is exaggerated with the SN length axles.
Not sure if it was mentioned but do you have the fenders rolled flat?
As I was reading this thread....... this is exactly what I was thinking!Stiffening the suspension is not a solution. All i seem coming from that is a vomit worthy ride quality.
Yea I may have to step it down a size wheel. I seen wicked step sister on Instagram tuck 285’s so I thought I’d give it a shot. These may look better on my new edge anywayLooks like those wheels are past the point of rolling the fenders, or even a different tire size. Those wheels are the wrong offset for the car plane and simple but I guess that's the new fad... If you are persistent on keeping these wheels, you could lift the car. The donk community does this often with large wheeld cars. New urethane isolators could give you what you are looking for.
