I just picked up some 16x7 +35 Regamasters with 205-50-16 (yes i know that its a tall tire but it came with them)

I'm rubbing the inner fenders and quarter panel even after raising the car. Later on I plan on getting 215-45-16's (Falken RT-615's). Being a wider tire is one thing, but even though it's shorter I'm just going to lower the car back to how it originally was.

The question is, at what offset do you guys have to roll your fenders?

 

If it rubs, Its time to roll the fenders, that 50 series is fat.

If you can, get a 45 series as soon as posible.

Yeah I know aboutt the 45s as I also have a set of SSR's 16x7 215-45-16 +45. The other rims I traded for the Regas were some Work Emos 16x7 +44 215-45-16. Wouldn't it still be bad with a 215 width though?

BTW if anyone is wondering my camber is -2.0 front and -1.9 rear

No. Its the 50 series tire that is rubbing. Go with a 45 and it will solve your problem. You are rubbing from the height of the tire, not the width. Your camber is fine if you like it there too.

 

i would run a 205/40 so you know its not gonna rub.. but thats just me

But, 205/40 combo would be hard to find.

The Regas you just got will be sticking out 9-10mm more than those two wheels, its another thing to consider. Changing tire size should help though. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Whats the height of a 205/50/15 in comparison to a 215/45/16? I was running 205/50/15 on my 15x7 +35 K1s with no rubbing at all. Obviously he will be running a slightly wider tire, but I had no issues with mine, I'd think at the height he's raised his to he should be alright with new tires.

 

ive never had an issue with 205 50 15. 16 however i would say just roll the fenders or go smaller. 215 45 16 is what i had on 16x8 wheels and i never had a problem
