I am running 195/60 on the street and 205/50 autoxing. My street tires are very close to the inner fender well(trunk side/ inside of tire) and might even rub on hard coenering. the track tires definatley rub. This is more eveident on the passenger side than the driver side.
The only way I see to fix this is to take negative camber out or use spacers. Any other ideas? What aligment settings are you using? If I remember I set the rear at .5 to 1 degrees less than the front. front being -1.5 to -2 if I remember correctly |

Sounds like it's time to get out the ol' wooden baseball bad and slightly roll the fenders...

If it's a nice car with nice paint I would touch it with a bat. I'd have a body shop do it with the proper tool.

Guys, please re-read his post. His problem is with the inside of the tires. Rolling the fender won't address that problem.
You're on the right track. Camber or spacers might help. But, to re-ask Andy's question, what wheels are you running? Once we get a more complete picture, then we can give you the wrong advice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
