Rubbing problem ... need advise
5 Attachment(s)
Brothers & Sisters,
Appreciate any advice and sharing of experiences as the rear left side is rubbing over bumps with 2 adults in the back... Specs are as follows : Rays VR G25 19x8.5 ET45 19x9.5 ET42 Goodyear AS2 Front - 225/35/19, Rear - 265/30/19 Lowered on HKS Max IV GT Really want to keep the lowered look and in fact I want to lower the rear 5mm more. Thinking of changing to 255 in place of the 265 for the rear. Will it help ? |
Mustn't be much in it, my wheels will sit in 3mm more but slightly wider tyres & no rubbing. 255's would definitely fix it I think.

Does 19x9.5 ET42 vs 19x9.5 ET45 literally means 3mm difference ?

the 255 would help, you could also have your fender rolled... and it would probably be okay

Sorry guys, after checking again, it is the front that rubbed :egads:
Thanks for the inputs, now I gotta deal with the front.... |

This car' front and rear fenders are already rolled from factory except this one part at the front. With your ET45 at the front, you're simply hitting the inner liners. If you want to go any lower for rear, you will need 255 tire or thinner. This car's rear fender is a ***** to pull and the rear bumper support bracket needs to be grinded out as well.
And even when your tires clear the fender, doesn't mean your wheels will. I'm currently running 255/30/19 with 19x10.5 ET40 at the back and this gave me alot of headache to get the fender to work without major pulling. |
