Help! Wheels Rubbing
Wheels: 8.5 +25 which...
ok... so i took tilt's advice and drove one wheel up a driveway... and guess what... THA DA!~
You guys can see how it rubs the tires... and... idk why for some reason... the fender's ripped outward?!
Originally....
For some reason the right wheel isn't rubbed as much, they are lowered on the same height (presumably, i'm lowered on HKS RS coilovers and my mechanics measured the ride height after installing them), and of same camber of -1.0
Now thing is... fronts are lower than the rear, but they are on -1.1 camber, and there's no rubbing whatsoever, the wheels clear the fenders pretty well.
So my question is... shud i roll my rear fenders? or shud i get it realigned and put -1.1/-1.2 camber on the rears?

*sigh*
A heat gun is included in the rental package (if you would have clicked teh link
)
And for space, all you need to be able to do is take the wheel off? If you can open your door to get in your car you have plenty of room. Quit being lazy buddy!

That's the reason I hate giving advice on specs of wheels, there's almost a liability factor.
Congrats on finding a place to roll 'em dezau!

Heh, I think he was saying it in a positive light though, he did find where the issue lies and it will be forever fixed. This little trick surely didn't bend up the lip of the fender like that.
