Hey I was wonder if anyone had or can fix my rubbing problem. I had the WIN racing front bumper on and I switched it to the Vertex and now my front right tire is rubbing.. nothing else has changed (i.e suspension settings, rims/tires).. any ideas from anyone?

I have 19" staggered volk av3 +39 offset all around with the big tire setup. and Tein CS.

this is REALLY annoying considering I bought the new front cause my WIN front was scraping on the street and now the scrapping is replaced by rubbing!!! I know the obvious choice is to raise it but its really not that low. I have a 1 finger gap. and I turned the front suspension to the tightest ( all the way clockwise if looking down on top of springs.. which I hope isn’t wrong) and have 35 psi in tires...any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

Tony: i'm running 19x9 +37 offset in the front with normal tire setup.. I'm also using tein cs, about 3/4 finger gap with no rubbing issue at all. Maybe you want to run the normal tire setup to avoid ur rubbbing issue. Hope that might help you.

umm that's weird. try to get some white or grey primer and spray the inside of the wheel well, drive around and let it rub and see what's the cause?

 

where exactly is it rubbing ??

 

im goin to tape the wheel well with some maskin tape to see exactly where it rubs down.. cars r nothing but TROUBLE!! hahaha

 

hahaha yup, time to sell man

 

Maybe if you put up the tire sizes more member can help you out

Never thought about painting the tire wall white/masking tape method

 

good idea.. 245/40/19 275/35/19.. i THINK i may have figured it out.. a long time ago i broughtj my car to the dealership and they messed up my front bumper so they had to repaint it.. after that i noticed the part where the fender and bumper attached was slightly flared out.. i never brought it back .. so i am assuming when the new bumper got installed it flared out a little more and that made the tab that holds the wheel well and fender together bend a little more (horizontally) which is whats hitting my tire.. SO i am goin to try to bend the fender and see if the tab moves with the fender. i pushed the fender in by hand (the flared portion) and it didnt seem to affect the tab. but i will keep on tryin. thanks for the input guys!!

if that's the tab you rubbing, be careful coz' if you go up driveway fast enough you can blow your fender
