tire rubbing
Has anyone else had trouble with their tires rubbing? I have bfg 315's with an eibach pro kit and steeda U/L control arms and it rubs when I turn left and when I launch. Somone said it could be the offset of the rims, any truth to this? I just need ton know what to do, I guess I'm gonna have to take it to a gay little shop tomorrow.

RE: tire rubbing
What exactly is it rubbing? I have 315/35/17 nittos in the rear with H&R supersport, about a 2" dropand my exhaust is about 1/2" away from the tire but I havent noticed any rubbing. If its rubbing your exhaust you can try and move your exhaust a bit and if it rubs with the little shock lookin things (control arms?) you can try and reverse them so that the shaft is the part closer to the wheel.

It's rubbing on the fenderwell and the shock. I cant launch at all, it sounds like my tire will explode if I do.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

RE: tire rubbing
I'm assuming the back is rubbing! Yes 315's will rub if your car squats enough. Also depends if you have 10 or 10.5" widde rims The 10.5's are actually better because they don't puff the sidewall out as much as the 10's do! I would roll your fender slightly if I were you! That's my next project!

RE: tire rubbing
Tire Rack has the Fender Rolling tool for $299. If we can get like 5 people per tool to pitch in everytime it exchanges hands then we can get a tool for a descent price!
Maybe have the first person buy it at $300 then the next at $250 then $200 then $150 then $100 By the time it gets to the fifth person it's only worth $100 anyways and since they get slopy fifths they get the choice to keep it for $100 or sell it for maybe lil more if it makes it to the 5th guy..lol But i would be willing to do this if anyone is intersted pm me
