I'm about to instal coil overs. I'm wondering what is the stock measurement (with stock wheels & tire sizing) from ground to top of fender curve. I purchased some wheels & tires and have instant rub ?although the coloured graph states should be a fit.
1) Wondering if my stock shocks are simply that soft or need replacing 2002 w 52K.
2) off set stamp on rim is not well done! I'm miss reading or it's not stamped correctly on the Giovanna wheels?
3) I'll measure and calculate the correct offset in the next couple of days.
My ground to top of fender is about ~26-5/8" all around.
I was about to sell the wheels and my friend mechanic who helped me with transmission adjustment mod suggested that the car really rides soft!!
thanks. Create a great day, unless of course you made other plans.

What size wheels and tires do you have?

might help others understand why you are rubbing.

also, why don't you delete your first thread that is an exact duplicate of this one...

1) sorry didnt realize I had posted 2x. I will look for duplicate and delete, tks for headsup. I'm not overly proficient at finding my way around this site.
2) I still want to know stock fender hight.
3) running rear 20" x 10" wheels w 285/35/20 .
front 20" x 9" wheels 255/20/30 . Rims stamp sais +27
I've had this size on previous 20" rims with a +37 offset. No rubbing, no problems at all. Went to a different 20"w +27 and thought I would be ok? rim with same tires which by the graph new wheel offset although less should be ok and have instant rub..
cheers

more than likely, it's time to change the shocks. I switched tires/rims awhile back & this was a problem of mine also. The tires/wheels that I purchased were within specs, so I didn't expect any rubbing, but I did....lol....because there is so much wheel space in the factory setup, it's hard to detect the soft/spongy shocks. Usually the car has a "floaty" feeling, especially in turns or at higher speeds & this can be a sign. After changing out my shocks, there was no more rubbing & the car had a better feel to it.

hey Bgw. Not sure if I'm that inept with web sites or what.. can't easily see how I can delete a post. Only see modifying option? I'm using my iPhone not lap top ? Not sure if the site is mobile friendly. Any advise would be appreciated.
Tks

i use an iPad and they should be the same...I think! ;-)
anyway, just click edit, then you should see a delete button, they you have to make another selection to confirm the delete.
or, it's really not a big deal!
