UPDATE: FIXED! =) Thanks for the advice everyone!!!



Hey fellas,

As some of you guys are aware of my current situation. I just got some MRR GT-1's mounted on my car (20'). I thought i would need the Eibach kit or something, but the car stands perfect for me.

As i was driving i noticed that any little dip makes the damn wheels rub. Is this really bad for the car? It prolly happens 5-8 times every trip i make over 20 miles. Will this damage my car? What can i do? Any advice would be nice. I didnt use the search engine considering i wanted to inform people of the wheels i got and maybe theirs more specific advice for my case. Thanks Guys! And I will put up pics soon! LOOKS FREAKING SEXY! =)

Trim the fender lining and grind the fender bracket and you should be good. I dont think its bad but it might wear your tires down faster.

here a DIY. Might help better

What are the offset on those wheels?

 

trim the fender bracket like what jnguyen said. mine is shaved to the bolt and no more rubbing

 

also what size of tires you got?

 

pics would help! and size and width and offset would help too.
so people can tell u what to do to prevent it.

 

+1 as you may be able to get away with just trimming the liner.

 

Alright guys! I went in to Need For Speed in Glendale, (Where I got my wheels). I would definitely recommend these guys. Edgar and Edwin there are awesome. Very nice and helpful guys. Well, I went in and they trimmed the fender line for me in 25 minutes. No more rubbing! The back are 285's. For whoever asked! They look awesome on the car. I still gotta put pics up! but thanks guys, for the advice.

If you went with 275 in rear you wouldn't rub, a friend of mine is dropped on Eibach and has MRR GT-5's (same offsets and everything), and he doesn't rub with 275 rear.

 

I'm currently running F 255 and R 285 and I have Zero rubbing. It's most likely the offset of your wheels. Trim the liner and that should do it.

Update: Just read your post bout trimming it already. Post pix

 

wait you were rubbing BEFORE eibach springs? eh...

 

I gotta take the eibach deal off. Im not doing them anymore. The car sits perfectly now=)

 

Pics please!

 

I get my camera from my friend tonight so i will put them up by tonight =)!

 

sounds like the wheels have the wrong offsets or possibly tires if you're rubbing on stock suspension.
