i just put 205/50/15 kumho Mx's tires are very nice but i have a major problem

it rubs.... on my rear left side.. the wheel is sticking out too much.. and it rubs

what should be done to fix this?

anyone had same problem?

 

What is your suspension setup? I think Bbasso on here runs Slipstreams with MX's.

 

Basso is on oem suspension 15 x 6.5 Slips and 205/50/15 MX's

 

bbasso has had them for a while as opie mentioned, but i have never heard of any complaints. hmm...
suspension?

 

Sounds like you have a suspension problem...

Take off the wheel and make sure it's sitting properly.

 

i am running omni power coilovers

i dropped the front as low as it could go and raise the back up as high as it could go

but i will have to try again see if it can go any higher

You know, I'm no rocket scientist but I think that may be contributing to your problem.

 

i dont really know but there was something wrong or either i didnt really know how to adjust it right..

front say i have about .25" wheel gab and the back has like .50"

 

My car was dizzumped on 205/50 MXes with 7" wide wheels and 38 offset...no rubbing. Take the wheel off, check things out, you must have some other issues.

 

SO... what did you find?

thanks for looking out

yesterday i raised up my left rear suspension and i rolled my fenders more..

now it's alot better for rubbing issue but still my offset looks weird. maybe i need some more - camber on it

 

So your saying that only one tire/wheel is giving a problem? did you check the offset on the rim to make sure it's the same as the rest?

Seems rather odd, I have the stock suspension and does not even come close it touching anything. How low of a drop do you have? measure from the jack points.

 

How long do these tires last (I'm looking for an estimate)? Thanks!

 

ever heard the saying "your mileage may very"? well that's the case

sorry i can't be of more help, until you tell us the main duty these tires will see.

Depends on how and how much you drive-

Street + auto-x. I'm looking for something comparable to the S-03 (in treadwear and in grip). If the MX's dont compare to the S-03 I'll just have to fork out the $$$ for another set of S-03 ($150+ per tire is kinda steep ). Sorry to go OT.

 

I got about 20k out of them, and no easy driving
few track days and burnouts

S03's will outperform the MX's for sure, but it's up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not.

I just read a bunch of reviews on the S03's and each one of them said they wear out with 15k miles if not sooner if your driving hard. And on that note... $134 a tire that last 10-15 miles is not a good deal.

Even though the MXs are a little less in the performance dept, they have lasted 20k miles and only cost me $400 installed. Seems like a better all a round deal.

My thoughts are based on street use. not track.
Track is a different subject.

Yeah, they won't last as long as the MX's. I was just basically telling the guy if it's worth it for him to spend a little more $$ and get faster times, then do it, and if not, MX's seem to be a good choice.

Also, I hope the S03's last more than 10-15 miles

i dun know but i wanted my car to sit a little lower on the front than the back

to achieve that i had to do that. but there's not much differance between front and back wheels gap.

front has about less than a finger gap and the back has about a finger gap

i will post some pics later

 

 

Blur your plates, yo

 

Looks like the camber is off. Try one of these:

Are you sure all the wheels have the same offset?
