Default Rub Fender on 19 Work's

I just install the Techart Lowering Spring to my TT , Looks good , perfect high as I wanted , but then it start to rub the fender even on my stock 996tt wheels .

Currently I install 19 Work's Bombacher with 315 tire rear .

Does people has this same problem with rubbing on 19 ?
I think it is rubbing toward the rear section , where the bumper join with fender.

Did you put the springs on the original stock suspension or has it been upgraded?

NA1-T,
I was getting some very slight rubbing issues in that same area with my 295x30x19 rear tires. I switched to a wider, but lower tire 305x25x19, and the rubbing is gone. If you are using a 315x30x19 tire, the diameter may be too large.

Bradford : I had it on my Stock suspension now , waiting for the PSS-9 to arrive .

ca993twin : Actually my Rear size is 315/25/19 , I am thinking of rolling the fender & trim the Rear parts .
That way , I can install a 10mm spacer on it too . since there are still room available on top of fenders .

Run lots of negative camber in the rear and minimum toe in. You should be fine. I had the 996TT wheels on mine with a highly lowered car running -2.7 degrees of camber in the rear and never had any issues. You can run 12" wide wheels back there with 335s easy. I used 320x650-18 slicks that were essentially 350s on 12" wheels with no clearance issues.
