i bought some group n's for winter, of course they were used, but they tires were in really good shape. now i posted about the tire size (215-50-15) and i got about half and half saying they fit and would not.

well they fit fine, they rub a tiny bit on the insides on the front, but thats only when im turning completely one way or the other.

well i didn't think about havign 2 people in the car or hitting bumps at speed.

so yesterday i drove my gf (no shes not fat ) around and i hit a bump in the road and i heard the rear rub the 1/4 panels i guess.

and then this morn. i hit another bump and i heard the front then rear rub....

now i can't really "roll" my fenders because they extend a couple MM past the outer line of the fender/ 1/4 panels...

now will this constant rubbing affect my car? will i do any damage? or should i just continue to leave them on? etc. all opinions welcomed!

 

It shouldn't damage anything to my knowledge, plenty of people run the Azenis in 205/50 when they have a diameter in reality of 219. Just pray for you fender wall lining that it wants to stay attached to your car.

 

yea. good point. it just sounds like its ******* doing some damage

 

Just wait until the fender liner shows up in your mirror on the highway, then ask us again.

If it's rubbing a little, it will work, but a whole lot is asking for it.

 

Don't worry about the fender liners,they are cheap.I'd worry if the rubbing is on the fender lips-that could cut into the tires,not good.

 

Thats a pretty wide tire to be running in that ReX, I run 205's on mine and it rubs like hell around sharp corners.

 

Yeah, I've got a fat girlfriend too. That happened to me. It just seemed to rub more when i had a passenger.

 

i was'nt able to roll mine either so i took metal snips and made cuts in the lip about every 2 inches. then i just hammered those flat against the body panel. i've not had any front rubbing.
