thanks guys shaving more it is any shops u suggest

 

why didn't you get 275 tires?

 

new problem my tmps sensor is flashing

 

Put some air in your tires! J/k You had TPMS installed on the Volks? If you didn't, the flash should become a constant light, eventually.

 

my car is dropped almost 2 inches with a +34 offset and 285 tires. Even with an extreme camber I was rubbing like crazy, once the rear fender wells were shaved problem is gone, no matter if the car is packed.

 

tpms will keep flashing. nothing you can really do about it. For some reason mines hasn't stop flashing yet. After a while it's supposed to stay on, maybe I should drive my car more. =P

 

ok i just had the inside of the rear fenders shaved
its about 90 percent better

i dont think i can put people in the back

can someone post a pic of their shaved inner fender

 

New Shocks perhaps? Is your car lowered with just springs?

 

JUST BARELY THOUGH. i switched out to the RB springs and that helped a lot and as of late, not sure if its the cold but i have hardly rubbed. i can even put people in the back given i have not done a full load yet but its much better. next set of wheels will definitly be the correct fit.

oh and i have 2 amps and a 4080 box in the back with the spare tire

 

im running hks coilovers and nothing in the trunk..so having ICE will definely cause it to sag more...

Mike did u go to statusauto to get it shaved?

 

lesper4, you may want to pm deedubb about getting your car done...looks like it may make your setup work. Then you wouldn't have to worry about giving up your wheels.

 

i dont want to get it done, like i said the problem rearly exisits as of late...new wheels maybe as in when this tires ware out.

 

thanks everyone
i had a guy in fullerton at goldenwest tire shave the fenders
they still rub when i hit big bumps on the freeways and stuff

its not that bad
but im not even gonna try to put people in the back
i know that wont work

i love this thread
thanks everyone

 

some daytime pics

they do look good

 

lookin good mike! I wonder how much they shaved off. Like i said im running 9.5 +34 with a 275 tire and my car sits much lower than yours. I still dont rub at all. I even had my camber fixed a lil and I still dont rub with 2 full sized people in the back. Check this picture out:



even at that height I still didn't rub. Im thinking they need to shave off more.

 

new wheels look nice...a nice change of pace...your car just was screaming out for some love....been awhile since it's seen an upgrade.

 

It might be rubbing on the interior part of the tires. In that case, no amount of shaving would help.

 

thanks guys
i did need the upgrade

again it fits the inside lip of metal on the exterior of the tire


its 19x9.5 40 offset

 

Hey Mike is it still flashing?

I found that if a person disconnects the plug to the TPMS module the light flashes constantly even when driving. (I plugged it back in)

It is the white plug on the left.




If it did stop you and you have TPMS sensors in the wheels they just needed to register to the car.

 

any suggestions on what to use to clean the rims

 

to add to that question any tips on restoring a set of wheels & what would be the ideal size(dimensions) tire for a 18x8+43 and 18x9+44 set of volks

Oh & excuse my ignorance but why exactly do you all go w/a biggger sidewall height for front tires?

 

plain automotive car wash soap and water. You can even apply wax to the rims as well, that helps keep the finish shiny and smooth

 

Hey Mike I just saw that you selected the best rim...YEAH!!!

Mine are just in rmc colour and i am waiting from day to day for the new rear size i got..19x10/5 with -5offset!!!The front are 19x8.5...235/35 front 305/30rear

 

yes that's how you take care of it. i wax my rims everytime i wax my car. haha

 

lol I wax my wheels as well. Not necessarily for the looks though but to help with brake dust.
