I recently purchased an extremely cheap used set of Rota C8s with a pair of Falken Ziex and a beat pair of Yokohamas on the back. Its common knowledge 205-50-15 is the right size for our cars, but I have extreme rub problems with this setup. The tire size is 195-55-15. It rubs like crazy and popped out my fender a little bit My car is lowered on koni yellows and H&R race springs.. Maybe is it just too low? I can raise it a little bit; I think the shock is sitting too low into the fork. Should I get lower profile tires or would they still rub? Im sure getting a camber kit would help because the outside of the tire is higher than the inside. Any ideas?

 

1st post.....

I think you answered your own question. Buy lower profile tires or jack it up some.

 

reset the spring perch to the highest setting in the back. The front will likely have to come up also (not sure, though). 2.5 inch drop is too low for tires that plump.

 

1st post + approx. 250 The perches are all on the middle settings. The problem is with the front there's nothing to stop the Koni from going all the way through the fork. I definitely had it too low before. Now there is about a centimeter of the shock showing through the bottom of the fork (as opposed to an inch before).. No more rub! But Id still like to know where the shock is supposed to seat..
