wheel width/offset, tire size, and pictures

 

yeah i can hear it when i drive and i go over a dip or a bump, i hear it scrape the fender..and my tires are 265 wide, so idk, about 10 and a half inches. ill put up pics as soon as i can...and yeah im a noob, idk how 2 know what im offset is...lol..all i know is that my rear tires are265/35/18

 

I don't know why you would start rubbing now when you never have before. That sounds a little bit weird.

 

yeah its weird..lol..and how do i post pics on here? :P i just took some right now

 

upload somewhere like photobucket or facebook, then right click > properties > copy the the image link address...come back here and post the link address.

 

or if you can't figure it out, just email them to tallywackerclark @ aol.com

oh, so youre rubbing with 4 ppl, get your fenders rolled or switch tire width.

 

naw i rub on my own! lol..like when im driving and the street has like a tiny bump or dip..it just get worse with 4 people

 

bad strut

 

and remember that it only rubs on the left side..one of my friends told me 2 just drop it and add more camber 2 it...so that might solve the issue

 

you're already rubbing so you want to DROP IT some more and add camber?! That's your friends's solution?

 

yeah, i got some very ignorant friends..a i did a bit of home fender rolling with a hammer yesterday and it helped a little..lol..also one of them said 2 get harder spring so it wont be as bouncy when i drive

 

you need new friends.
be careful with the home fender rolling, it helps to heat the fenders when hammering on them so you don't crack the paint.

do you have stock suspension?
how many miles on your car?
you really need to figure out the offset to your wheels so we can figure out if you just have too wide of tires for an aggressive wheel. Usually if you take the wheel off, the offset is imprinted somewhere on the inside. Offset plays a BIG role in fitment.

for example, you're running 18" wheels with 265's and rubbing.
I have 19x10" wide wheels with 275 tires, am lowered on coilovers and do not rub.

 

yeah its all stock with about 56k miles...and ill take my tire iff right now and see if i can see my offset

 

i think i found it...it says 35

 

we're getting warmer. Sounds like your wheels are 18x___ +35.
do you know how wide they are?
Stock offset for our wheels is +55 (I think) so that's a 20mm difference right there.

 

lol, yeah man its 18x9.5+35

 

what size tires are you running?

lowering the car on a stiffer spring will help depending on the spring rate. It will also help by allowing more camber to be done. With a rolled fender it'll allow more play room for when the tire tucks at full load or when occupied.

 

he's running 265/35's
Ask some of the locals for a recommendation to a shop that can do a good fender roll.
That might be a good start

 

oh ok..ill probably get them rolled then..because i wanna lower my car soon 2, so i sure dont want it 2 scrape even more

 

when you lower your car - be sure to check your shocks - if one is damaged it could cause more rubbing and possible fender damage. Also, once you've lowered your car be sure to get an alignment.

 

ok i will, thanks for all the help!

 

sals autosport rigo for fender roll.
