Default I have a ? about my wheels

Hi Everyone,

I have a question if somone could help me out..I have a 6 w/ 18" BBS Wheels and Toyo T4 tires. Last night, I had some friends in the back seat and my car felt weighed down (they are not skinny people). I was driving out of my neighborhood and notice my rear tires were rubbing. Is there a way to fix this? Can I adjust my springs to make the car a little higher in the back or should I just avoid putting oversized people in the back of my car?

Thanks for all you help. I truly appreciate it.

Well, what's the offset of your wheels and what tires are you running? You should roll your fenders, in case you haven't done so.

Roll the fenders? What does that mean?
