Need help/advice, tires are rubbing.
 

Hi enthusiasts,

I've got a problem, I just acquired a set of SSR Professor MS3 in Titan Silver: 19x9.5+12F and 19x10.5+18R wrapped in RE-11 in 265/35/30F and 305/30/19R, respectively. 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. :mad:

Fixed.

Sounds like you need a 10mm spacer in the front..

Hey Chris,

I meant that the tires are rubbing on the fender, let me fix it...

-EDIT-

Fixed.

I think thats going to compound it worse No? since its really aggresive but what the HELL do I know. Lol

I would think going down in tire size to 255's would help :shrug:

this or try going for negative in camber

ultimately in combination with a camber kit it'll make it drivable


Coilovers are nicer but a lot of $$ another choice would be to try another set of lowering springs like Eibachs?

Those have a less aggressive drop

Offset math is ridiculous... I was thinking if he's got +12 wheels, shouldn't adding a 10mm spacer take him to +22 offset which is what is recommended for the front? :confused:

if you add another 10mm the offset will be +2.

only thing you can do now is shave down that tab and a fender pull.

Damn, Okay... then I guess a narrower tire, or less aggressive spring. :confused:

i wouldn't go through the trouble if a slight pull/shave the tab would do the trick.

Check to see if its only the plastic tab rubbing . Those wheels look too good to get rid of

+1

just pull the fender a bit!

Some negative camber up front and you will be good.

I was rubbing slightly with a 19x9.5 +22 with 265/35/19 tires. You need to get narrower tires and add some negative camber
the shop that recommended those offsets got you a really aggresive fitment for the front and a conservative offset for the rear

I was thinking going down to a 255/30/19 if possible?

The fender tabs are gone now, I think I lost them somewhere in the I-805 freeway :rofl2:

Hmm... how much are front camber arms costs these days?


I really appreciate the reply guys, I'm just so pissed right now that I just want to sell it even though I don't get back what I paid for.
