Re: H&R Race Springs w/ Kyb setup rubbing tire (inthad)
How many miles are on these KYB shocks?
Did you reset your suspension bushings after throwing your springs in?
205-50-15 is a pretty good tire size to run. Comfortable in 15's

Yea, it rub only when I make a wide turn ( u turn). I did reset the bushing. The kyb has about 35k on them. Its holding up pretty good. I had coilover before and it wasn't this low.

I have stock size 195/55-15 tires and they rub the fender liner when I turn sharp into a driveway. It kinda sucks. I had 195/50 before and I think I will go back to the size next time.
My 205/45-16's don't rub nearly as much as my 195/55-15's do.

How are you sure that the front fenders are where the rubbing is occurring?
I couldn't make a conclusion on just the information given . . .

yes, it can be anything that can be rubbing in the suspension area, but in most cases after switching to bigger rims/tires the fender rubbing is the culprit. I guess i was assuming, but i do understand where your coming from targa....

Thats going to happen all day on H&R race springs. The springs drop the car low. I dont know anyone with race springs that doesn't have a small section of their fender liner missing.
One suggestion is to look at the whole fender liner and make sure NOTHING is missing in regards to retaining clips and screws. If the liner is tightly seated in the fender well, you should only experience minimal rubbing.
