Raise Rear?
I recently bought new wheels and they are 20x12, running a 345/25/20 tire, the tire rubs when it squats or dips on the street. I saw a thread about trimming the inner fender lip, going to do that.
Is there a way to raise the rear of the car using the stock bolts or what else could I try to gain some clearance for the 345s. My car is C6 Z06.
Thanks,

I tried to lower/raise the rear today and I can't get the bolt to turn either way. I sprayed it with PB Blaster but no luck. I stopped when my Craftsman wrench started to bend.
Anyone have a solution to this?

If the tire is rubbing, I'd suspect that the wheel's offset is not correct for the C6.
I've got slightly larger tires on the back of my car and have no rubbing issues, CCW wheels.
