well i found a good deal on the jdm 16 inch itr wheels so i pick them up my car was running on stock size tires with the stock 15 inch r wheels and everything was fine well i go to swap them out and everything goes fine but the rear on both sides rubs on the chamber kit it has already shaved some metal off the inside of the wheel weight any ideas ? i figured you guys would no best

 

strange but a quick fix would be a 5mm spacer

 

what kind of tires are you running?

 

I had rubbing issues too but I was on stock suspension. I found out it was the wheel weights that was mounted on the inside.

 

215/45's is what comes stock on JDM ITR's. Shouldn't have any problems with rubbing if you're running on stock suspension. if its lowered, you'll need to roll your fenders and get an aftermarket rear camber kit to keep the tire from rubbing on the rear upper arm since its smaller

 

you just need to change your wheels weights, mine did this same thing when i put the JDM 16's on my car,
you need the weights that stick to the inside of the wheels, not the ones that clip on to the inside lip if the wheels,
or a 5mm spacer, either way it's a quick fix,

 

Read carefully. His tires aren't rubbing. The rubbing is caused by wheel weights on his wheels. So the tire size doesn't matter; it's not the tires that are rubbing.

If that's the only place there's rubbing, use the other kind of wheel weight. If the rubbing is on bang-on wheel weights on the lip of the rim, then remove them and balance the wheels using stick-on wheel weights on the inside of the rim. And if the rubbing is from stick-on weights, switch to bang-on weights.

Like Sfedai0, I had a set of stock (15") wheels with stick-on weights mounted on the inside of the rim, and they interfered with the front calipers. So I switched to bang-on weights, no problems now.

EDIT: I typed this while Reyes was posting the same thing...

 

Yeah i would use different wheel weights.

 

thanks guys i will try another type of wheel weight but also order some spacers just in case and also the car is runing a 205 not the 215 that comes with them

 

 

The wheel weights on the inside will rub. I had the same problem. You can move the weights to the inner lip.

me too. just figured this out for myself last week

 

my rubbing was due to the wheel weights as well. Took the inner wheel weights off and there was no rubbing.

 

i plan on getting a spacer just in case you guys all think a 5 mm spacer will do the trick I dont wanna order them then need alittle more ? thanks for all the help

Why is the bolt not fully tightened?

 

i just left it lose for the pictures because i was adjusting the camber kit

any insite on what kinda spacers i should get do they need to be hub centric ? and do i need to get just the basic flat spacer for 5mm or something like the h&R thats like a hub with studs ?

 

hub centric is best if you can find one.. you don't need the h&r w/ studs.
