Need help/advice, tires are rubbing.

TonySlimfast · 09-26-2012, 06:04 PM

sorry to hear it bro a slight negative camber adjustment should fix it.... but if you cant fix it .... one mans trash is another mans treasure... sell them my way =)

Sell your wheels/tires to me for cheap. Problem solved.

[/thread]

No really though, either go with a lower profile/width tire, dial in more camber with a front camber kit, or roll your fenders/cut your fender liner. Any or all of the above will work. I basically repeated what the guys above me said.

Go with a smaller tire up front....

Not much you can do other than try more negative camber and narrower tire. FYI I run 295 on my wheels with correct offsets with no rubbing at all.

Always best to error in other direction as you can always use spacers.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll try to roll the fenders and see if this helps. If it doesn't, what front tire size do you guys recommend? Btw, I like the beefy look of my RE-11s in 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 - the 305 has the best look, is there a way I can have that look but smaller? I'd like to keep RE-11s as choice of tires.

I ran a 275 with OEM camber no rubbing on a +27.

your running 265 on a +12. So you stick out about 10mm more than me. To make it even with a 275 you would have to drop to a 245 tire size. You could try a 255 and see if that works.

I'll probably try to roll the fenders first. If that does not work, I'll try to camber it in since front arms are cheaper than a pair of RE-11s. If the fender roll does not work, my sponsor and I are going to try 255/35. Worse is 245/35 but it just wont look like a good pair compared to the 305/30 in the rear.

yup. that would be weird with the size in the rear.

P.S. i still hate the stretched look, so hopefully you the rolling works for you.

I'm dropped on H&R springs with close-to-OEM camber. The shop that sold it to me said that the offset will work even though I know that the recommended offset are +22F and +12R, and now the front tires rubs on the fender like hell even on slopes and slight road change. Now, the shop will not take it back and says I need to be in coils and that I need smaller tires and that I need a front camber kit. I'm just furious to find out that they want me to spend more just to make a set of wheels work. I dunno if I want these wheels anymore.... What do I do guys? Rolling the fender doesn't look promising.

Fixed.

Good gawd that looks awesome, nice choice on the MS3's

Rear fenders will need to be modified as others have said, if you're rubbing in the front you will need to run some negative camber or a smaller tire

I had a similar problem with my current setup so I rolled the rear fenders and went to a smaller size front tire and it rarely rubs in the front over big dips but never touches in the rear

daisuke149 · 09-28-2012, 01:44 PM

the rears will be fine. should have no rubbing at all.

king12sky · 09-28-2012, 02:29 PM

Man +12 front! IMHO there's no other option than to roll the fenders or get new ones. Going down in tire sizes to 245 kinda makes it look weird. just my 2 cents. hope it work out for you..

Soooo sik...man that pic makes my Rays look like childs play...

TonySlimfast · 10-03-2012, 10:35 PM

just curious what disk type you got for your rears

sfearl1 · 10-04-2012, 12:16 AM

I've got the exact same size in a different SSR wheel (SP3) up front on my Z. You will definitely need a 245 and most likely a fender roll to be that low. I'm installing my coilovers soon and am getting the fronts rolled before the install. I'll let you know my results. I'm on 245's up front btw.

Edit: just saw they're 19's, I'm on 20's. I'd still try a roll first.

AlanManouk · 10-04-2012, 11:37 PM

Your gonna have to go with smaller tires to help deal with the rubbing. Also down in Granada hill you can visit Tony. He does great work for fender rolling just google search his name and itll come up!
