im just curious because this has been bugging me lately. im running on omni coilovers with about a little over 2 inch drop in the front and 2 inch in the back. i see these cars slammed with most of their wheels tucked. how do u guys do it without rubbing? when i had my wheels tucked, the front wheels kept rubbing the inner wheel wells whenever i would turn. i mean i never had a problem with the outer fenders or the lining. but i just cant figure out how these people can go that low and not rub.

 

The secret, they do rub. You can play with the offset of the wheel and find a happy medium but unless you do alot of cutting and bending, you will rub. Most guy's that do the slammed look dont know that they bump steer around every corner thinking their bad asses....lol

Of course then theres the show cars, they need no explaination.

I'm gonna have to disagree w/ you on that one, my car is as low as the coilovers will go and I have no rub. Am I just lucky or something? Full turns are no problem for me...

But I do agree w/ you on that one...

 

sorry bad pic...and no rubbing

 

wheel offsets, tire size, and camber.

 

when i was dropped about 3.25-50in in the front and 3in in the back i had no problem with rubbing... maybe it was cause i am running 205-50-15 tires ...but my boys eg is dropped so much that it makes mine look like a 4x4 and mine is dropped2.50in in the front and 2.25in in the back. with his car he cant even turn the wheel all the way... but it looks sic

 

usually when your tires rub you can solve the problem by rolling your fenders. thats what i did when i had my EF, no more rubbing.

 

stock wheels, small tires (195/50-15) and no camber kit = no rubbing.

If you have a camber kit, you'll be more likely to rub or scrape the fender, since the top of the tire gets pushed out.

 

what kind of rims are those?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by i heart my vtec-turbo &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

the other way u see cars slammed so much is because they have air bags... and it lets them lower the car really bad.... like the wheel will 1/3 under the wheel well
looks very ricey

My front are fully slammed on coilovers.

And, NO RUBBING HERE either? 205-40-17" wheels~
Full U-turns etc, and still no rub. Like patrick mentioned above, if you get a camber kit, then thats a different story.

 

No rubbing here either..Im on H&R Race springs on Koni Yellows with the perches on the lowest setting. Im tuckin in the front..the rears arent tucked at all b/c the SRR LCAs kinda raise the *** a little bit.

Im running on 205/40/16 Toyo Proxies on my 16" rims. You can see its got some serious camber, but I havent had any camber wear yet. Ive had these rims/tires for about 3 months now.

what do air bags have to do with suspension??!

 

air bags or just bags, as in air suspension.

 

yea im running on stock 195/55/15 tires with no camber kit. the thing is, when i was really tucked, i didnt rub the outer fender lining. i rubbed on the inside wheel well whenever i turned.

 

by the way, that black teg on works and the green four door are looking pretty sick.
