If you take off the privacy control then you can post it to forums. You have the all pictures copyright protected so they can't be used anywhere but flickr. You can turn it off in the settings.

Then just insert the URL at the *: [img]*[/img]

An 18 x 10.5 +43 with 265/35 tire fits all around without a roll, so certainly no need to roll a 10 +42

Rub a DUB!

So guess what...it rubbed BUT VERY LITTLE

Senerio...3 guys...1 weighs 190 lbs, another weighs 220 lbs, and the other weighs like 280 lbs...All above 6 ft tall climb into an Rx8 and that puppy hunkers down. We are off and bump...psshhhhhh. What was that...It rubbed.

I checked the tire and nothing...Both inside and outside edge. The I noticed how close the plastic in this pic was to the tire...

It was MUCH closer when the guys were in the car. We are talking only 1/8 of an inch away from the tire.

Solution: Dremel time! Make plastic go bye bye. I may even post the step by step.

Note: I am still guessing this is what rubbed. I will take the wheel off and inspect all plastics to verify and remember this happened with 690 lbs in the car. If I had my girl and her son in the car during a race (370 lbs) I could be pulling 1 G and it prob would not rub unless I bottomed out the suspension on an uneven bumpy surface at very high speed.

Yep, that's a very common problem for people with lower offset wheels and wide tires

Exclamation

Can someone please answer my question? How do I change the name of this thread to calling all Forgestars?

I tried to edit the first post but that only affected the tittle of the post itself and not the thread.

I was thinking that but too much good info and pics to repost all over again. I kinda like the "stop stealing my thunder Angel"...Gives the thread character. I sent Zoom a PM to change the title.

Hey Chris, I might leave the 20's for the show if I cant have the car aligned before. I don't want to mess up the new falken azenis on the f14's. That way there's no stealing no thunder like you say.. At least at the show that is... lol
