hello, i just bought some tires and rims yesterday for my 5th gen type sh, the rims are konig unknown and the tires are 215/45/r17, the outside edge of the tires slightly rub on my fenders on small bumps in the rear, i have some rust in ym fenders and am afraid of the tires hitting it and knock out that whole part of my fender, is the rear camber angle adjustable stock or is there a way i can slightly rais emy rear end to stop this from happening? i do not want to sell the rims as i just bought them yesterday.. any solutions or suggestions please?

 

I had the same problems. the best thing to do, since you have already spend money on rims and tires.. is to get your fenders flared... or DIY.

 

DIY as in?

 

by the way the fender flaring might not help because what it rubs on is my bumper bracketin the rear where the bumper meets the fender

 

DIY = DO IT YOURSELF
now thats odd... if that the only place it rubs.. have you gotten an alighnment?

 

no not yet, which is why i was wondering if my camber is adjustablly stock, i think it might clear but not too sure,i was suggested the fender rollinmg, and also hockeypucks under my springs to lift rear end a little bit, i work at a mazda dealership and can get the alignment and stuff done cheaper but am not sure if that would make it clear? its an sh with stock springs and all, my buddy had the rims on his 01 se, no rubbing and he still even had wheel spacers?


p.s. i did not put in the wheelspacers because im guessing that would most likely make it even worse

 

im not sure if you can adjust camber in the rear... with stocks....
but check back after the alighnement..and let us know, if this resolves anything..

 

well after some looking around at different angles and some thinking i noticed my spring were rubbing together slightly, which is probly why( along with needing new tires) my *** end swung out around a corner that i even took easy, im sure my struts are shot because i got a friend to push on the car and it almost hit just doing that, so im hoping worn struts is my main problem, i also noticed my rear doesnt have quite the clearance as my front, so im going to try and get some struts hopefully tomorrow and we will see where it goes from there, now for that rust problem, FML

 

got an alignment, and new rear struts and found out upper balljoints on rear left and front right needed to be replaced, since those i havent hear any rubbing since
