I've just installed some 19's on my IS and now I'm getting little rubbing when I'm at full lock turning left and I go down an incline. I think its rubbing against my fender liner. I've read up on how to do the heat gun technique but I'm not really sure where to remold the liner. Is there a common place where the fender liner needs to be remolded to prevent rubbing?

In case it helps, I'm running 19x8.5 with a +38 offset and 235/35/19 tires in front. I'm lowered to about a 1 finger gap in front.

Thanks for your help!

take wheel off, look where your rubbing, youll be able to tell... then heat up fender liner with heat gun until super hot, push in with some thing(not your hand, even with gloves you will burn yourself) then when pushed in spray with ice cold water and itll harden. repeat in every are you rub.

I've tried looking at areas, but I think the rubbing is so infrequent that it's not leaving much of a mark, I was sort of hoping that there was a common area that rubs...

if your rubbin ISNT leaving a mark, your not rubbin enough


*really thou, dont worry about it, if theres no mark, its soooooo minor no worries*

Im rubbing like that too.... (There is a hole now lol)


Since I have no access to a heat gun im thinking of just cutting that area away... its a pretty small pot, like a 1X1 inch area that rubs...

Hopefully theres not rust under the liner!

ask a friend to look out for it while your make a back turn, thats how I found my, is right on the middle. a heatgun will do the job.

I rubbed too when i put my 19"s on at full lock. The palce i was rubbing was the front driver side wheel. You need to heat gun and push back the plastic closest to the driver seat. I did both sides and im rub free
