Rolled my fenders, but still rubbing..

[protege5gurl]

Is that a fender roller in your attachment? I have never seen one of those before. I rub just slightly in the rear, and I need to roll my fenders...

this may work for you, but my dad did this for me, when the car was in the air he pulled the bottom of the wheel out while pushing the top in slightly to change the camber, it helps.

my first set of 17s was a 17x7 +45 -- I never rubbed the fender lip but did rub where you are --- you can do a slight camber adjustment to help keep it from rubbing and not affect tire ware to much ---

I have now 17x7 +48 and dont rub anywhere even with a full back seat --

so you dont have to buy new rims or tires -- try the camber and if you dont like that idea -- find a shop that can shave 2-3mm off the back wheels --

good luck



ps -- where'd you get that front end -- looks hott (drinks)

oops -- just relized this is 7 months old -- LOL


did you fix the problem??

 

[toucci]

just dial in a little negative camber but not so much that you hit the strut

edit: oh yeah it is old, oh well.

if the inside is rubbing.... can't he put in wheel spacers

 

[bonesmp5]

no -- wheel spacers would make it worse

if the inside is rubbing.... can't he put in wheel spacers

lol wheel spacer, and you cant run a 205 tire on 7.5 inch rim. Thats pretty high in the well... odd.

Geez.. fell off the side of the planet on this one.
es, that is a fender roller. It works perfectly, way better than watching the guys stand inyour trunk while the VP of wheel Source rolls a wooden bat between the tire and fender??! But I still rub, but I think it is due to the brand of 18" tires I have on them?

If you are ever close to Dayton send me a nemail and we can roll while you are here.
