Default What do you guys recommend?

On big dips, I hear the fender scrape like crazy. I was told I should get a camber kit for the rear. The front don't scrape at all, there's no problem up front. But the rear is a completely different story.




This is the left, the right is the same.

What do you guys recommend I do? I'm planning on raising the rear a bit since it sits too low in the back but apart from that, what else do you guys recommend I do? Is a camber kit the way to solve this issue?

With those wheels you will have to roll the fenders and get camber kit for rear. I had to put camber -4 degrees to get to stop rubbing. Your fronts will rub i just took my car and had them roll fromt fenders still rubs a tiny bit. The rear was horrible. Fyi even with the camber kit and rolled rear fenders my rims are getting chipped away on edge i havent figured out whats causing it. I have same car lowered on RSR down springs running SPC rear camber kit. Same wheels i think vossen VLE1 10.5 wide in rear

I'm gonna pass by Vossen HQ next week and see what they suggest I do. kdot_vossen had our same exact car with the same wheels till he traded it in for an RC-F. I'll talk to him and see what he did about the rubbing when he had it. Thanks for your suggestion tho

I live in california but before i purchased the wheels i called vossen and that dude picked up. He told me he had the same setup. He told me which tire sizes to get aswell. He told me i wouldnt have any problems with rubbing but as we both know now it does. Your going to have to get camber kit no way around it. Even with getting fender rolled it still rubs. Your tires will wear faster to it sucks.

Tires and wheels that actually fit. Anything you do other than that is a bandaid on a terrible setup. No offense, that's just how it is. Your tires are also too small, but I'm sure you know this.
