Serious rubbing issues

I have new Bilstein shox,#4 pads ,H&R springs,18"mono's(225/40/18f and 255/35/18 r).When my car goes over dips I hear the rear drivers side tire rubbing against the fender and worse my drivers side front rubs on dips so bad that the front Dr side fender got slightly damaged at the arch! Any suspension suggestions? Are PS009 coilovers available for this car?

HELP!!!

Hey Carl, take your wheels to a shop that repairs wheels. Have them remove about 4mm to 7mm from back of the hub on each wheel. I did this with my front HRE's because I had the same problem as you, I removed about 8mm. Just make sure by moving your wheels inward, will you clear the brakes front a back. Also make sure there is enough meat on the wheel to cut the hub so your wheel studs won't break through.
