i just got 205/50/16 Kumho Ecsta's and they keep rubbing (rear fenders). i have 205/45/16 in the front also. i have coilovers and can adjust the height. i did raise it a bit and now it seems the car is too high and i dont want to roll my fenders cuz thats too much of a hassle and i dont want to do any bodywork on my car. any help??

also my allignment is pretty bad so that might be another problem. when i look at the tires from behind, my passenger side tire seems to be sticking out and the driver side is tucked in so only the passenger one keeps rubbing.

why didnt you get the correct tire size for the rear?

 

rolling your fenders is no "hassle" lol.

it takes like 20 min. to do all 4 sides.

So wait, does it look like the left tire has negative camber and the right tire has less or even positive camber?? That would indicate suspension damage to that right rear corner. Has the car ever been wrecked?

But yeah, it would help if you had the proper 205/45 tires on there. Any chance you could tell us the offset of your wheels?

 

i dont want to roll my fenders cuz i dont want to do any bodywork on my car. and i didnt think that only 5 would make such a big difference. my car has never been wrecked and the offsets are +40.

 

The 50 means 50% of 205mm is the sidewall height. Your tires are about 24" diameter when they should be 23 1/4" diameter.

What do you mean by this, like the passenger side wheel actually sits farther outside the fender? Or it doesn't lean in as much as the driver side wheel?

Have you tried swapping the tires and putting the 205/45's on the back and see if it still rubs?

 

i rolled my fenders in rear and front after i got my new paint job you dont need body work just make sure you no how to do it but i did it and was easy and no "body work" nessesary

 

or an easy fix but pricy is to get smaller tires

 

do you have pics of your car where you rolled the fenders??

 

ya look at my build thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2078174

actuallly no it takes longer than that if u do it the right way. and which tool your using.

 

?=whats the offset of your wheels?

 

heres an easy way to roll your fenders..cut slits on the inside of your fenders where it rubs. next time your car bottoms out or rubs, it rolls the fenders for you!

That is a valid question.

 

the rims have a +40 offset.

 

I have the same sized tires and I rubbed hella lot after I dumped my car to the floor.

rolled my fenders and now I'm good at even hard cornering...

can't say much about the fender liner that got ripped off going through a curvy road...my girl sure loved it lol..I can't feel the same though

 

rolled fenders would probably help in ur situation
