Default Rubbing

I just installed 20" wheels on my car and if I am running it hard around a corner or hit a small bump my tires rub in the back. Any way to stiffen up the rear end so I dont rub or atleast rub less?

Bigger sway bar, stiffer shocks/springs, that's about the only way... Basically you need different shocks/springs, the sway bar might help enough but I doubt it.

Is there away to install a stop so the body hits theframe before the body hits the tire?

Im sure that some one will suggest a way to do that, drop down to 18" wheels and you wont have to worry about that problem...which will only get bigger as your suspension settles in...

WheelBrokerAng .ie: I wont even sell 20's to anyone who trys daily to buy these from me as they do try to..I don't like the liability nor do I want to see one of my customers lying face down on the side of the road in some TV news ad..

Sorry for the sad note on this, but Ive had bad problems with 20's on smaller cars over the years and I dont sell them any more except to the cars that can handle them with out all the problems.
