Rubbing problem

[Erbal]

I recently had some Tein S-techs and Tokico Illumina's installed on my P5. I have a set of 18" Work's, and for some reason, my rear left fender sits at least 3/4" closer to the wheel than on the right side. I had my brother(200+lbs) sit in the back seat over the wheel, and it rubs constantly even at low speed. I had him sit on the right side, and the right side doesn't rub at all, in fact the left side still rubs when he's on the right side of the car.

You guys have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Bryan

Not much you can do about it short of raising the car, or changing wheels. Mine did the same thing with my old wheels on the car. I think the wheel well dips down on that side for some reason. Are you running a 35 series tire? If not that might help you.

These are pics of the wheels when I bought them. My laptop just bit the dust, and I haven't retrieved the pics off it yet.

I actually am pulling them off soon anyways, and I am going to sell them. I'm in college now, and money is extremely tight.


As for my join date, I made an account a while back when I was in HI, but my buddy Lang would always find stuff for me on the forums before I got around to it.

Lowered and 18" wheels means NO FAT FRIENDS.

You need to get smaller wheels or new friends, bro'

Ah, ya I believe I have your carbon fiber hood, or what's left of it lol. The sun has been terrible to it, and after having it restored once, I gave up trying to save it. As for the wheels, I have a tiny bit of curb rash on one, and my front left wheel has a bit of a dent from a nice pothole on H-1. I am not sure what I would be looking to sell them for, I am going to find a wheel repair shop around here and see how they come out.

how did buy the wheels from that time? Are you coming back down to Hawaii?

I have that problem with my MS6 Rims. Even with no one in the back. Its only on the rear drivers side that it does that. Weird. Im probably going to raise that side up a bit more. lol

Nope, won't be back to HI anytime soon.
