What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

no, no allignment, and yes stock suspension

but, mine only rubs when i've got the tail end loaded down and i hit a bump

Callie's just has crappy wheel offset and needs fenders rolled

 

[THE Phen]

Callie's we understand. The offset is a tad incorrect.

Yours puzzles me like no other. You may have said it before, but do you see where it's rubbing at?

 

[aMaff]

Have you taken a wheel off to see where the rub marks are?

Think maybe the struts in the rear could be going south, and with the added weight it hits inner fender well?

 

[mx-p5]

havn't checked the wheels or tires to see where it rubs.

But, i do think it could just be the struts going. Hmm.....i need to check my warranty paperwork. New stuts for free? hmmm

i doubt it since it's wear and tear item, but i still gonna looK!

If anything, i HAVE to get new suspension now! lol

I'd have to take one apart to make sure, but I'm 95% certain you'd hit the bumpstops on the struts before the tire ever hit the fender liner.

 

[mx-p5]

i like the "struts going out" idea better


I'll pull a wheel and see if I can see anything though.

Are you running a larger profile tire? I am LOWWW and the back can go another 1.5" with a 215/35/18 50mm offset.

 

[mx-p5]

i've got 215/45/17's on both cars

Good point. I rubbed drivers side rear towards the back of the wheel well on the plastic. Pics can be provided. This was at stock ride height. I haven't rubbed since doing the suspension.

apparently, something that looks like this:

I guess if you really want your car to look like a housefly...

 

[mx-p5]

won't fit in our housings(pro5 or sedan)

 

[dxaveP5]

..wow looks crazy
too much goin on inside the housing for my p5.

 

[AlturredMP5]

ive got a wheel question since we're kinda on the topic of rubbing. if i got those 18x8s i posted earlier wrapped in yokohama 215/40/18s, do you think id rub with a 1.4" drop? i know nothing about wheel measurements and number crunching.

I just know for a fact the MSP Racing Harts rub in the rear when there's a lot of weight back there. It's due to the rediculously high offset (+55 mm). I'm just trying to figure out what this noise apparently coming from the front is.

my rear end is weighed down by 2 memphis 12s in a huge box.

huh, I've never heard of that issue with them before. Crazy.

Yeah, I've got the worn fender liners to prove it...

Still, is there anything in the front that would cause a grinding noise when turning?

so wait, the MSP's DO rub on stock ride height p5s? ughajshga, im about to pick up a set of SSR's that are the same offest as the MSP's
