do you have an adjustable panhard rod? if not, that would be the first step what size tyres are you using? and are your guards lipped?

i have 235/40/18's on my VK. Pretty low (100mm off the ground). No adjustable panard rod, no lipped/rolled guards and the only time it rubs is going up a driveway or 5 ppl in the car.
