Im Running 245 35 19 In The Front And 275 30 19,( Not Sure Wat My Offset Is) Not Lowered Yet, And It Scrapes In The Front On Slow Sharp Turns,

Am I Better Off Just Using The Heat Gun To Push The Fenders Back? Or Do I Need To Change My Front Tire Width?
It Scrapes Only In The Front From Wat I Can Tell


I Have Springs On Order, Will That Make Rubbing Alot Worse? Should I Sort The Rubbing Out Now? Or Wait Til I Have The Spriongs Installed Then Do It?

Pls Help

 

I had the same issue, just run a smaller tire size in the front i was running 245-35-19 jus the you were now im running 225-35-19 and i have no rubbing issues at all. I am also lowered on tein coilovers.

 

is pushing the mudguards in with a heat gun not a good idea? i prob wont change my tires for a while, although i know its the best option i jsut spend mad loot on them. is there any negative consequences of taking a ehat gun to the inner mud guard area?

 

Might want to wait before you do any of that. Get the springs and install them. Then get an alignment so you don't chew up the new tires. From there do as needed to prevent rubbing.

Now, is this rubbing minor as in when you turn the steering wheel to make a U-turn or is it a right hand turn type of thing? How come you didn't run a 30 profile in the front? I find it weird that people run different profiles...

 

Unrelated to this specific post - - but,

why is it that some people rub on a certain size rim/tire combo, while others don't rub on the same size rim/tire combo? Just curious...

 

I have wondered that for years, all I can say is not every car is the same.

As far as the rubbing is concerned I would drop down to a 235. 225 is a little narrow in my opinion.

 

Does anyone have an answer for me? I just don't get it...

 

It depends if they are dropped or not and how wide their wheels are. Some drops sag lower than others which causes rubbing.

 

rubbing is minor, it depends how much i turn the steering wheel, when making a u-turn it rubs before i lock the steering to one side, but when its locked its fine and rubs a little when im starting to straighten it out again but when i do its fine, ( id say its 8/10 the way to full rotation of the steernig), if one person is sitting next to me, rubbing is more pronounced and occurs alot more. thats why im scared of wat the springs will do to my car


yea me neither man, i consulted the forums before gettin mine based on people who said they were not rubbing, then again maybe they are lying or (not sure if this is a reason) have good offsets that would cause the wheel not to rub.

 

does that affect ur speedo? i wanted to keep the ratio the same. wat u runing on ur rears?

 

use the heat gun!!!!!

 

Im running a 275-30-19 no problems. Also you should try to figure out what is rubbing and how much is rubbing. i use to rub on the back of the well and all i did there was head gun but if its ur fenders above the wheel you should just roll them in.

 

yea didnt mean fenders meant on the inside of the " wheel well" on the mudguards, dunno if the front or back though

 

you are not going with very aggressive widths... my guess it's the offset.

 

i had to trim part of the inside of my two side rocker panels. I had to cut away a a 2.5"x2.5" piece. then with the heat gun and a round object i pushed in the inner molding and the cut part of my side rocker panel. My front offset is 34 and i am running large tires 245/35/20. it was unbearable to drive before i cut out that piece and molded it.
