Wheels Rubbing

[92'SC400]

I have a set of Ruff Racing wheels staggerd 18 x 8.5(front) 18 x 9.5(rear) and the rear tires rub the fenders when i turn too hard, go over a speed bump, or even hit a small dip in the road and it rubs even more if someone sits in the back seat. Are these rims too wide do i need to roll out the fenders or do i need new suspension? Thanks for the input in advance.

If the suspension interference were not a factor a different wheel offset could be used to move the wheel "inward" and thereby avoid the rubbing.

But moving the suspension components, rear strut and spring, is NOT a simple task.

What i meant by new suspension was, do i need new struts meaning they are too weak and letting the car bottom out on the fender.......

High performance struts/shocks, typically, do not reduce the rate at which the wheel "retracts" due to roadbed "obstructions", only the "return" rate. The wheel/tire MUST be able to move quickly away from high points, obstructions, in the roadway or......
