Anyone else have a rubbing issue with 18" wheels???? WHat did u do to fix it. I am also lowered with S techs. Please help !!!

 

What are the wheel specs? Stechs are low, but I can't image too much issue unless they're really wide or a strange offset.

 

Yes, width and offset please. On 19x7.5 et 40 I don't get any rubbing issues.

 

i have a 30 mm spacer on the rear, 25 mm on the front... cant take them off because they are a lug conversion to 5 x 114.3

 

Right, but what offset... b/c if you're running spacers AND have an offset under like 40, I can totally see problems occuring.

Or if they're 18x8 or wider...

 

this is all the info i have from AXIS Website...
18x7.5 5-Hole 1 19.0

1Inch is the lip diameter.... whatever the offset is its exactly the same front to back.... they are the same wheel all around... they arent deep dish or anything

 

they are 5 X 114.3 if thats what u are asking.....
I had put on conversion spacers

 

Which wheel do you have.

Your not really gonna be able to fix it man... MAYBE if you get your fenders rolled which i havent seen done yet and/or get a stiffer suspension. Other than that not much you can do about it...got some pics? cuz that setups sounds like it looks good!!

o it looks awesome but is it dangerous that i rub when i take turns and hit bumps??? this is all i am worried bout

 

i will post pics tomorrow

 

Not dangerous really...just try to avoid going like 50+ over those dips on the road cuz thatll really hurt your tires..cant wait for the pics!!

ok so the noise just really sounds worse than it really is then... maybe it will dissipate as the tires wear down a lil... i also considered getting low pro's instead. right now they are bad ___ Nitto Neo gens

 

Ok so here is the deal.. Now that it is light outside I can see where it is rubbing. On the Front it is minorly rubbing on the Fenderlip that holds the plastic shroud on. On the rear it is rubbing on the fendelip from about the 3/4 mark of the fender (towards the rear) to the 1/4 mark of the fender (towards the Front) so its the tope 15 inches or so of the fender lip that is rubbing.. We shaved it down some last night, and the rubbing has become less. But it still rubs over every bump, and woop in the road.... is there any way for me to roll the fenders? or shave it off even more? If i get Low Profile tires would this help? Is there anykind of maybe Spring "rubber" if you will that I can put in my S-techs to make them stiffer? or sit higher? I mean I know why I am rubbing... Its because of the Spacer size.. But there has to be some option to keep these Tires. Never the less I will be Posting Pics today so you can see it.

 

 

 

 

yes yes i know i have to take the ENKEI Sticker off now.... I will get to it lol right now there are more important things to be worrying about.

 

i woudl think the it cause the spacers? the rear wheel is obviously sticking out more than usuall?

can i ask why did you get the 5 X 114.3?
