lowered my car with H&R sport (1.75 and 1.5) with tokico blue non adj...i have 17's 205/40's on many turns my tires will scrap the inside fender wall...has this happened to anyoen of you guys?? my friend said i shoudl get 195 instead of 205's....what do you all think??

 

What kinda offset are you running?

 

your car is a mild drop, i doubt there will be any rubbing

 

Doubt? He said they scraped. Find out where to get the fender lips rolled, it's a cheap process and it'll work I've done it on 3 cars, make sure the tire isn't just rubbing the splash gaurd first. Cause that is a very easy fix.

 

i have the same problem, and so does my cousin......we both are using Ground control/Koni Yellows, and are using 205/40/17. On turns that we have the wheels turned a considerable amount they rub...and the problem is the offset, its not just the tire thats rubbing..its your inner wheel lip thats rubbing too im sure....u can check by looking inside ur fender wall and seeing black marks and white marks, the black marks are ur tires rubbing, and the white marks are from metal of ur wheel rubbing..and they should be right next to eachother..check and tell me what u see....

Khoi

 

thanks guys...i'm gonna check after work...also..i DON'T have stock shocks...when i put in teh springs i installed the shocks along with it...but i'm gonna check thanks fellas

 

Here's my setup. Eibach prokit with tokico illuminas adj at 4 setting. my wheels are 17x7.5 42mm offset with 204/40 tires. The only time i rub is when i make a left turn and I hit a bump on the road during the turn. I was wondering where it might be rubbing at. Any ideas. I checked inside the fender and dont notice any part that is being rubbed at (i.e no marks of any sort). is there a specific area where it commonly rubs at that i should look at?

 

i have eibach prokits and koni yellows set on the lowest setting so its about a 2+" drop in the front. on sharp turns and uturns i always hear a scraping sound. would this be bad for my car and/or tires in the future?
