Is anyone having rubbing issues. I have LE37T 18x9.5 +40 in the rear and Tein coilovers and my tires rub. Any advice? could I just fix this with alignment, or do I need to roll the fenders. And if either of those wont work, lift the suspension back up an inch? Thanks, ill post the pics soon, dont have them on this computer.

XDEEDUBBX 05-08-2006 11:23 PM

my rears rubbed but got my fenders trimmed.

StealthFox 05-09-2006 12:27 AM

+40 shouldn't be too bad so i would think a little neg camber might keep your tires off the fenders haha. the best way is probably to get your fenders rolled. don't compromise and make your car look like a rally racer with a tall suspension.

DaveRX8 05-09-2006 05:56 AM

Well thanks guys any more input anyone has would be great. If someone has the alignment specs on them I would greatly appriciate it if you could PM me with that info so I can get mine similar. Or post it here...

Thank you, Dave

Hey there guys, I have a question. From what performance shop are you guys purchasing these wheels from? Anyone that I call they tell me it will be a 60 - 90 day wait for any Volk racing wheel.

Is there a shop in the USA that can supply these wheels faster than that time frame?

Thankx...

Sounds about right, most people have to wait that long to recive their wheels from Japan. Unless you buy them off another memeber.

I called three distrubuters.

F1 Motorsports
Wheel Warehouse
Discount Tire (El Monte)

Discount Tire in El Monte (talk to Vic) has good access to a lot of wheels. When I was calling about my Volks, Vic said that he could get it that day, and he did. Called him in the morning, and had them mounted that afternoon.

XDEEDUBBX 05-15-2006 02:24 PM

i waited 5 months for mine only because i got a custom color and different offsets.

ALXVA8 05-15-2006 02:41 PM
