Heating?shaving wheel wells help?
i have seacrched but can't find any pics, or details about how to heat the wheel wells and push them back to deal with tire rub. I'm running a 245/35/20 on my 07 GS, and i have a lil rub on the drivers front at 3/4 turn. NO, I dont wanna run a 30 series tire, so any other help with my question would be appreciated. I looked thru a bunch of threads but couldnt find specifically what I need. thanx
So without seeing the car - I would note where it is rubbing, heat the area with a heatgun and begin to push in. This is going to be a trial and error process until you get it right. Note there may not been alot of deflection to improve the situation and you may either have to deal with it or remove the liner. Are you lowered?
What worked for me, was I first found out where it was rubbing at. So I would turn the wheel and leave it at that position. Then I heated around the area and slipped a thin piece of wood to space it out and I leave it till it cools and hardens.
thanx for the tips guys, i'm gonna work on it tomorrow, or saturday. its not rubbing much, and I'm sure it won't take a whole lot of altering. the car is NOT lowered and i dont plan on lowering it, so hopefully a lil work and it will be right. I'll post pics along the way.
