Dunno if this is in the wrong forum but here we go... 94 lx 2dr. lowered on neuspeed sport springs, Koni yellows (neuspeed editions), i have 17's with 215/45 series tires, now.. when i turn the wheel to the left, the outside of the tire touches the bottom of the fender, it has taken out chunks of the outter edge of my tire, and pushed out the fender a little bit. it makes a horrible sounds as well, does anyone else have/had this problem, or does anyone know how to fix it? , Thanks

 

get your fenders rolled out, its not that expensive, id say $50 maybe i could be wrong but its not too spendy, or raise it a lil

 

It's unfortunate, but yeah, you have very few options here. Since you are on the Neuspeed/Konis, you could raise the perch all around and see if that will take care of the rubbing. That is probably the first thing I would do if I could bear to be up a tiny bit.

Then again, that should be a safe setup. Maybe you have your Konis on a lower perch already. /Shrug. After a while you learn to let nothing surprise you with a Honda suspension.

 

Yeah already put it on the top perch... where would i get my fenders rolled? what does this look like? thanks alot, btw, crystal pepsi rocks!

 

Anyone?

 

ditch the 17s.

 

was thinking about it... but would rather solve the problem.

 

I've never personally done it, but many people just get in there right where it's rubbing and hammer away. I'd think there must be a better method, but sorry, you lose my "expertise" here since i've only seen people with it, not seen people do it.

 

you could, i beleive, get your fenders rolled out at any body shop, i think

 

Run a search on this board. I know I've seen a bunch of info on this. There is a tool that is used to "roll" the fender but it's kinda price for a one time thing, unless you plan on doing it to more cars then it might be worth it. Many people have just taken a baseball bat and used that by wedging it between the fender and the tire and walking it around to "roll" the fender. If you search this board, you'll probably see that method being used the most. But I've heard that the baseball bat tends to chip the paint a little while the actual tool does not. Like someone mentioned though, try calling some body shops, they might have that tool and do it for a decent price.

 

dont ditch the 17's , ditch the 215's those are big tires for 17's get 205's

it all depends on what width the rim is. you can't judge the width of the tire by just the diameter of the rim, you need to know the width of the rim.

true

 

true there probably is other threads about this so do a search, also you can do it yourself, but you should get the tool, or look for tricks, ask around at body shops, theyll help you out

 

cool, thanks alot guys.
