strange rubbing after lowering

[nope-mx3]

Hey,<p>my car is coming along nicely now.
everything is installed.<p>But, after I installed the Koni`s + H&R, it seems as the tires rub if I take a corner hard (front tires), also if I have someone in the backseat, it rubs on the sides when I`m turning, and I don`t even have to corner especially hard either.<p>I find it strange as I now other mx3`ers who has 7.5x17 rims with 215/40-17 tires.<p>The offset on the rims is supposedly ET 35, shouldn`t this work ok? Might it be that I have gotten rims with another offset than what I ordered?<p>Any help would be nice <p>nope-mx3

looks like your offset is too small.

where is it rubbing? That'll tell you if the offset is wrong.<p>Some tires are wider than others indepedent of size.
