There's probably 90% of the people who changed their rims are running wide rims/tires.

Such as 19X8.5 front and 19X10.5 in the rear. I m rubbing something everytime i go down on up a steep slope!!
Tires are 245 front and 275 rear.

You guys seem to be all doing well as i've never seen people posting things like that. I bought the rim used, didn't get to ask about the offsets.
But overall, yes, it's rubbing. I m running on stock suspension btw.

What I can think of, is that the tires are rubbing against the quarter panel and rear bumper tab area. Not sure if its' a good idea to cut that piece off tho.
I didn't want to go negative camber much nor do I want to roll fenders and stuff.
I m planning to get stiff coils next. (Get rid of the wheel gap), and to stiffer up the dampness. But here's another question, its logical to think that, if i lower more, it's going to rub EVEN more right?

What do you guys doo??

Thanks.

 

no it will camber in

 

what kind of wheels are they? Sometimes the offsets is posted in the inside of the wheel. When your car is at stock height ur wheels are like | | then when you lower it they go / \ depending how much u lower it

 

When i mount the rims/tires on the car, one of them, i did try looking for the offset number but fail to locate it.
It's Advan RZ-DF's.. .

 

Cut the fender liner and shave that bumper bracket to just the bolt that will most Likely solve your problem unless your running a fat tire

 

It was a very bad idea to buy wheels without knowing the offsets. That makes a big difference

 

^^^^^ oh well.. The set of wheels was previously on a G37 too.
He'll be helping me to figure out how it goes tho..

but i still want to ask around about this..

 

yeah but if he was dropped/aligned ANY differently than you, then you will run into exactly the problems you are having. there are a lot of factors that go into the suspension/wheel settings

 

The seller will be swapping his rear bumper with me.. He mentioned that it may help in the rubbing..
He has the bumper with lip molded on it, which i like it too..

If not, i'll probably will go with what doggy mentioned, cut liner and do something to that tab area..

Btw, don't think i mentioned this, but i m rubbing at the rear only. Front's good.





forgive the gap that i have on my side skirt.. Fitment didn't go well with that AIT kit.
Not sure if it matters to say who i bought this wheels from tho.. lol. You guys all know him. But yeah, he's helpful enough. Wanted to get more opinions from everyone.

 

That doesn't look bad at all. starting by working witht he rear bumper bracket, shave the plastic tab about 3-4mm towards the bolt, and use a hammer to bang the metal tab upwards, that will fix a majority of your problem.

 

Just shave the bracket and cut the liner like i said and I guarantee no more rubbing, the liner can be cut with a razor blade, the bracket u need to jack the car up and do it with a dremel.

 

itll be worth it after your lowered. those rims are fire!

 

And so, i took off the wheel, and with that bolt area (metal), i bent it upwards quite a bit.

Tried it once i m done, went down the slope that i rub, Fine. Went up the slope again, Fine. And when i went down again, it rubbed. ==

didn't want to cut that thing off, since i don't feel good about destroying things. lol

 

and btw, the offset for the rear's 25. Saw it when i took off the wheel.

 

are u planning on lowering ur car?
