I have got 225/45/17's on my FG1, my techs nor I can figure out why Im getting tire rub over bumps, its a common size for the FG's, the car is lowered but only 1.2-1.5, just curious if anyone else out there is having the problems or not.

 

whats the specs on your rims?

width? offset?

 

17 by 7's
offset is +42mm

 

i'm lowered on S-tech's and i've got 225-45's on my stock si wheels. driving normally i'm not worried but when i go over bumps faster than i should it rubs just a little bit.

 

yea, exactly, but its not even a matter of going faster than i should, sometimes i slow way down, i was just curious how many people were expiriencing this since its a recommended size for 17s

 

i've got 18s with S-Techs and i would also rub on some bumps, but that went away after i got an alignment done. so it could be an alignment thing.

 

my car is straight as an arrow....

 

seems like a lowering problem then. My rims are 17x7.5, 42mm offset, 225/45-17 tires, not lowered, no rubbing, not even with four adults.

 

dude i have the same problem....im lowered on sportlines with 235/45/17s......sucks

 

hahaha thats awesome though that you put 235's on there, if im getting rubbing with 225's i know you must be!!

get me a pic from a rear angle of your car on wanna see see those on there

 

daymn, 235 is pretty wide compared to the stock 215

Now I've heard/read or whatever that the same rim specs on an FG1 vs and FG2... the FG1 would have issues where as the FG2 would not (issues meaning rubbing, bumping, etc...) ... does this question make sense? and if it does .. can anyone answer that?

i have 225 on my stock wheels its not lowered but when i was in the process of moving and had the car packed and the wheels were just about tucked i had no rubbing at all

 

well I guess we need to hear from more people that have a dropped FG running 225/45/17's or something in the same overall diameter!
