I'm running 195's on my car and I did have to roll the inside lip of the rear fender for clearance. No problem moving forward, but on occasion when I'm backing up, the driver side rear tire will still rub the fender lip. I'm guessing this is just because in reverse it "torques" the tranny. (This is the second 914 I've had, and the first one did the same thing.)
Any way to fix this? Thanks. |

My guess is suspension bushings. This allows toe-change and when backing up forces the tire out to rub. By chance does it happen while turning.
Tranny movement is completely separate of this, and if it isn't you have way bigger issues. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Jack the rear of the car up....grab the tire and see if you can make it "rack". |
