I just bought a 03 MSP great car, problem is It had a slow leak in the drivers side front tire. took it to discount tire and they told me the sidewalls were almost completely deteriorated from the inside. the car has a 3 inch drop ( bought it that way) and the tires are the bridgestone Potenzas 215/40/17 I also noticed on the inside wheel well there is noticeable signs of the tires rubbing...not familiar with dropped cars but is this normal on these vehicles and what could I do to fix the rubbing of the tires? I really don't want to have to buy another set of tires in about another 10k miles...

suggestions? help? opinions? thanks
 
First off great band. Second, stock rims? Either way 3 in drop without camber adjustments and rolled/possibly pulled fenders it will rub.
 
yessir the stock 17 wheels. and yea it only rubs on the inside towards the motor of the fender. Ill try and get some pictures tomorrow once the sun comes back out.

OT: Nevermore ftw. sucks that loomis left.
 
also not sure if it has had camber adjustments or not. ride feels nice and smooth with no sounds or vibrations and drives straight
 
A ******* 3" drop?!? I need to see pictures of this.
