I just got some new Azenis for my car (205/15/50) and I took a corner hard on the way home to see what it would feel like compared to my old Kuhmos. It felt great but to my suprise the tire rubbed like crazy. I checked it when I got home and found out it was rubbing against the rear fender. What are some solutions to getting this fixed.. becides getting a new set of tires

 

your tires are too wide and you're too low my friend.
if you have coilovers raise the car a bit.

 

the thing is I ran the same size Kuhmos ok and my car isn't lowered at all.. still running on stock suspension... would a swaybar help this rubbing at all?

 

you don't have fenders in the back, you have quarter panel.

where is it rubbing inside or the outside ?

 

sorry...quarter panels.. wasn't thinking. Anyway its rubbing on the outside.

 

Since no one has replied I searched around a little and came up with fender rolling. Does anyone know how much this typically costs at a body shop? Oh yea and would the rear sway bar help?

I told you you don't have fenders in the back.
you can roll your fender but you can't roll quarter panels.

 

My girl called so i couldn't answer back.

yes..

If you were rubbing in the front you could just take a basball bat, and roll your fenders, but you said you're rubbing in the back.
there is nothing you can for the back.

Plus i don't think people rub on stock suspension, with only 15in wheels.

 

roll quarter panels then.. why can't i do that? and yes.. i am running 15 in wheels and yes.. they are rubbing.

oh yea and can anyone answer my question about a sway bar helpling the rubbing of tires on my REAR QUARTER PANEL

 

how do you rub with 15's and stock suspension?? you'd have at least like an inch or more gap. if it only rubs when you're making hard turns, then your solution is not to make hard turns.

the answer is NO.
sway bar holds the frame together for better turning, not so you can get rid of your tire rub in the back in stock suspension on 15in wheels.

 

try raising your car a bit as suggested before.

 

i had to roll my quarter panels in the back on my 94 si inorder to use 215/40/17 tires. no rubbing at all anymore

thats what i said. But he says that he is on stock suspension.

 

i don't know why you'd say you can't roll your 1/4 panels. I've done it on a few cars. on my car we actually had to cut the outer quarter from the inner panel, and then strech both out, and weld it back together to get the clearance. The car is actually 1.5 in wider on the rear now. It's not visable at all, but it gave me the necessary clearance.

get rid of stock suspension and get something stiffer, but not nessesarily much lower

with money and intentions anything is possible, i was giving him more economical advice.

 

well thanks everyone... so let me get this straight.. i CAN roll my quarter panels?

YES i know what a sway bar does but by limiting th wheel travel because it has to bring both sides up a little, i don't really know, i read it in another thread somewhere here. I have a GSR sway bar laying around so should i try that?
