i used to have my car pretty low and i liked the drop. However my inner fender liner was rubbing pretty bad up to the point where the tires rubbed the plastic off and i was rubbing bare metal at one spot. To you guys with slammed cars, how'd you guys get passed that? i was afraid the metal would go through my tires if i kept on driving around like that so i raised it.. now its too high.

ps. dont give me lectures about how i shouldnt lower my car so low because i'm aware of all that. Just asking for advice thats all.

 

It happens. But it only happens when i make sharp turns.

 

its cool.. just dump it .. tires wont blow

 

anyone else? if its cool i'll probably dump it again. cant stand the 1 finger gap.. haha.

 

I had a friend who had his EG hatch dumped on some 16's and it rode alright but one day he was angling out of a steep driveway and his tire popped his fender outwards. It was weird. We had to knock the fender back in, but it was all creased up.

 

you can dum your car as low as u can just get skinny tire try not to go wide tiress...i think stock rim and tire is good......

here is my drop. (damn tire worn out so much)

 

yeah i'm on stock 15's.. i guess i'll dump it again. thanks guys

 

get some lowprofile tires..just bought some today 195/50/15

 

i think lower profile tires wouldnt help since it rubs on the inside...good idea tho, makes the car even lower hmm anyone else? on hard turns the tires rub the inner fender liner/metal.

 

My fender liners are torn all up and my passenger side fender has the same strange pop out issue.....its caused when you tire is spinning and catches your fender spitting it out....not cool I lost some paint on my fender over it

 

how can u prevent the tires from rubbing inner liner?

 

im gonna grind the lip where the inside part of the guard meets and put new bolts so the metal doesnt take any more out of my kuhmos

 

how bad did the rubbing effect your kuhmos? i dont wanna drop it again if its going to eat my tires.

 

cut the inner fenders.

 

that means i'll have to grind it? damn... bump

 

ttt

 

rip them bitches outta the front...
in the back i cut the inner lip, and it just rubs the inner fender well, nothing hurts..
in the front i rolled the fender lip, just be careful turning...

 

yeh i need the same question answered. my car is dumped and while i was beginning to drive off, the fender liner all tore out ( the car was dumped for a good month or so making the tire n liner rub the whole time) eh thanks to my honda sponsorship , im gettin it replaced and def. raising the front jus alittle

 

when i dropped my teg, i took a rubber hammer and (CAREFULLY) straightened out the liner in the back, and then bent the parts that jut out up, so i dont rub at all anymore.

thats a good idea. Is the metal that flimsy? why would you need to be careful and use a rubber hammer? just curious thats all.

 

bump

That's what I did, doesn't rub as much anymore.

 

do i have to use a rubber hammer and be careful? or could i just use a regular hammer and beat the hell out of it

It's better to use a rubber hammer, so it won't chip the paint. If the paint chips you might get some rust on there.

 

so pretty much if u have 16's on and EG thats moderatly lowered to look nice and handle well theres no way ur not gonna rub unless u beat the **** out of ur fender....****. i guess im rollin with 15's till i figure somthin else out...
