Default will LCA help out w/ rubbing issues.

i bought a set of wheels w/ a agressive offsett +44. cause i wanted that poped out look. anyways i don't want to camber it cause it seem like there is no camber at all in the rear. i lifted the rear like 2 inches and still rubs when take my car to the twisties. the questioon is that if i got some lower control arms will this help w/ the issues? i'm guessing any LCA made the eg will be the same?

+44 is aggressive?

Is the tire rubbing on the innner or outer wheel well?

yea to me its agressive b/c they stick out more than usual on other cars i've seen. but don't stick out too much. it is rubbing in the inner part. it is the part where that folds in.

If I understand correctly, it's not rubbing on the fender, but on the actuall inner body/panel of the car.

Is that correct?

what kind of car.
and are you running like 20" wheels or something

if you are talking about a civic/integra. most aftermarket wheels are like +38mm to +40mm

+44mm will actually move the rim in farther into the inside of the fender towards the center of the car, not out from the car.

if its rubbing on the inner fender. your offset is too high need to go lower.

when i had 38offset with my rota c8 it would rub on the inside at full lock.

Might be time for some small (2-5mm) spacers.

i'm thinking i might go with cambering the rear. i heard it will also help w/ the corning. i heard the amuse s2k touge monster has camber in the front and rear and that thing is a beast.

i really don't want to fender roll it, cause i don't want to mess w/ the body at all.

What car are you talking about? How wide are your wheels and what size tires do you run? For you to be rubbing the outside of the tire on the fender with +44 offset it would have to be some pretty wide wheels.

Either way, a rear LCA isn't going to change camber, but an adjustable UCA can. How much camber do you have back there now?
