So I just installed 21" Trafficstar DTX I picked up from 0x21, and it rubs like a ****. I had to use a 10mm spacer in the front to clear the brake caliper, but it's apparent that the rubbing is from the caster being off. The 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock section of the drivers side tire is rubbing against the fender. (8 o'clock to 11 o'clock on passenger side)

I'm not sure if I should try to get some caster correcting arms/bushings first before getting an alignment. I'm going to do a slight pull tomorrow afternoon to the fronts, but I'm not sure if that will be enough with the caster being off.

Do you guys with ultra aggressive fitments have issues w/ rubbing in that area? Was a pull enough to clear any issues? I may drop down to a thinner tire, but selection is limited with 21's.

My fronts rub with 20" and a mild offset. And I have the SS Pro Kit that corrects caster. The only thing I think will help is more camber.

My fronts didn't rub before when I had the 20x9 +30 with 225/35. I think it's a combination of the 1" larger diameter wheels and fatter tires.

what settings do you have your datasystem at?

Even if I have it set to C or D (higher than normal), it will rub while barely turning

ok my 20's dont rub at normal height but when I go down slightly it does rub. So I guess with 21's and a more aggressive offset it would rub even at full height.

like HIlo mentioned above you pretty much need the ss pro kit since it changes the mounting position slightly, and should be enough to fix your issues. also what are the specs of the wheels and tires you are running + offsets?? so you don't have any rubbing in the rear at all? are your fenders shaved? i am not sure if you can order just the extra pieces of the pro kit or if you would have to order the entire kit over again but you might look into this option. or try to sell ur ss kit and get the pro instead.

BTW wait till after you change that stuff to get your alignment done cuz anytime you change the geometry you will then need to get an alignment and it would have wasted the money if you did it before.

I'm going to try and fix this caster issue before I get an alignment, hopefully soon. I don't drive that much, since I work from home so it shouldn't be too bad.

I had the same prob. but had to change frm 225/35 and ran a 225/30 on my 20x9 (+20) which fixed the rubbing, since i pretty much daily drive slammed w/ ss kit and datasystem controller, lmk if ur gona get these, look like they would def. work, ill pick-up a set too, thanx...

Here are some pics I just snapped. You can see the front wheel being off.

You drive at that height If that is so fixing the caster wont do anything to help your rubbing issue.
