TEIN SS & Rota Sub-Zeros Rubbing

[Rogue]

I'm getting some kind of rubbing from the rear. I haven't had a chance to get under there and take a look, just wondering if anyone could suggest what it may be? I'm running 215x45x17 on Rota Sub-Zero 17x7.5 with TEIN SS coilovers.

It almost sounds like it's only coming from the LR side. When i take a left turn the sound goes away, and gets louder during a right turn. the rubbing noise isn't constant, either. I heard it last night, but not this morning. When it rubs, it does so in a rthym instead of a contant rub.

help?

HOw is your tire balance and alignment?

I kinda had a sound like this, but it was from my wheel not being tight all the way (boom03)

i dunno, i think you're just going to have to give the rims to me (naughty). i hope you find an answer.

MIght be a hub bearing, jack the car up and spin the wheel. See how much noise it makes and if it's hard to turn.

yea i've seen a few bad wheel bearings, try rasing up the rear on the SS and see if it helps

whats your offset??

whats your offset??

and also a 215/45 is a pretty big diameter wheel for us, that could be causing some of the issues as well

Wait 215-45s, did you get new tires? Check to make sure the tire's not rubbing on the strut somewhere, maybe on the spring adjuster. Do it pretty soon so you don't f-up a tire.

215x40 my fault

i'll jack it up tonight, when i get home from work
what's weird is sometimes i'll hear it, and sometimes not...

I had the same rim in the same size and i had to have the lip on the hub grinded down because it wasnt letting the rim sit flush all the way around . Its just a problem with that rim and only on the rear.

Those wheels were machined to fit by AutoRnD, they used to be mine.

Oooh okay sorry, just trying to help a fellow P5er!(dunno)

I'm sorry, did I sound like I had attitude, didn't mean to. I just meant that I knew that those wheels in particular had been done, because if you don't buy them through Rishie, then chances are they wil not have been machined. Again didn't mean anything.
