I have no pictures so this might be useless. I usually am the tech guru and have all pics from 360 degree angles but the girl friend has it for the weekend out of town.

But here it is. I just got some sportmax 002's 15x8 with 0 offset with 205/50/15 tires.

Dropped on Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. It is rubbing the HELL out of the rear tires expecially the right rear. Any reason for this? I am rolling the fender but it still is rubbing at almost all points of the fender.

I DO NOT want to camber so any other ideas?

Thanks

 

What?? really. with only a 1.8 inch drop. Roll the rears out. If you go to vegas me and a buddy have a fender roller and ill roll those suckers for you for free!!! let me know jake but i hope you like the wheels..

Love the wheels but I am shredding those new yokohomas. I wonder why its rubbing so bad...

 

I love thoes wheels i rolled them for a bit.you hae almost no choice but to rub with the 002. only way out is to roll the fenders. hit up Salteen he had a post not to long ago and he was way happy after doing it.

 

Rolling is the key!

Just make sure its completely rolled, mine also rubs on the
right rear on hard dips. check your fenders the problem is usually
at the front of the fender not the top

 

Yeah its at about a 45 degree angle off the top of the wheel as to where most of the rubbing happens.

Does anybody have pictures of these springs installed?

 

Your wheels weren't designed for FWD vehicles. You're gonna rub with 001's and 205/50's no matter how low you are.

Switch out the tires for 195/45/50's. You might have to do some more fender rolling, but you'll be good.

If you don't want to do any of that I'd suggest 501's.

 

How come others on this same set up dont rub? I am wondering if for some feat of stupidity if I installed them backwards to drop them further. I know that sounds stupid and I would have to be an idiot but I am having doubts

 

Moved to Tire/Wheel, since this is a fitments issue.



Roll Like mad, they'll go under there.

 

Sweet thanks for the advice man!

 

If rolling the fenders is not enough try some camber shims- http://www.onetongarage.com/products...him/index.html

 

Hate the look of camber..... But might have to consider

 

Also I do not need them to be any wider lol..... They already stick out quite a bit

 

trust me if you are running 002's then it will rub, hands down. the key is to how much you will rub. I rolled the fudge out of my fenders and pulled them out some but still rub. I will be cutting the fender wells out and making more room for them.
