i just installed hotchkis springs on my 08 box. im running 19x8.5 with 45 offset,tires are 235x35x19s. do i need to get the camber, caster and toe in readjusted?im getting a slight rub in the front. do i need caster camber adapter plates.or is my offset wrong.

You're probably rubbing on the inside, not outside. I would definitely recommend an alignment especially with expensive tires. If you could, run your stocks for the next 3 weeks or so.

I have the whole Hotchkis TVS and I didn't get an alignment for about 3 months. My front tires are almost done on the inside.

caster is fixed on all four corners. camber is fixed in the rear cause of the solid axle. think about getting the front toe and camber straightened out.

as for rub where is it rubbing? suspension? fender? if its suspension then see if you can push out the wheels with spacers if its fender then ive really got no help. maybe roll it if you can. at 8.5 wide youre already pushing the limits...

i belive its rubbing on the fender.i lost one of the push pins on the inner fender liner.so basicly its rubbing on the inside of the outter fender.if that makes scents .ill go get it alligned and have the camber checked tomorrow.

so youre driving without the plastic liner and youre rubbing the actual fender now.. that means youre rubbing the outside sidewall and i think that can be solved with some fender rolling.. take it to a local performance shop and see if they can help you out. google maps says that granada hills is in the LA area and frankly there are more performance shops around there than mcdonalds..

no no no no . it just took off one of the plastic pop fasteners. the one in the center of the opening.the inner plastic liner is still in great shape .the only time it rubbed was exiting and entering my drive way.im going to take it and get it aligned and have the camber checked tomorrow.then go from there.rolling the fenders is a last resort
