03 Coupe Rear tire rub
I have a tire rub when I take hard right hand corners and bigger bumps. It only does it on the drivers side rear tire. Also my rear tires wear on the inside edge.
Fenders have been roled and eibach sport springs.
Right now I have 20mm wheel spacers and off set wheels.
Trying to figure out the best way to sovle this problem.
1) Get 15mm spacers and remove some of the rear camber (or get current spacers milled down
2)change the springs so the rear doesn't sit so low
3) or is there something I am missing?
Any ideas will help
Thanks

That's up to you..Maybe 15mm...5mm can make a difference..How much camber you runnin?...Toe is the tire killer. When aligned it should be as close to 0 as possible..
Well not to be mean,You should know the specs from alignment. It only looks like 2-3 to me..
Camber helps clear fenders,Spacers giving the you the poke is whats going on. Ride height looks great,and you are stretching tire..So either run more negative camber,or tone down the spacers..

Seems like lack of it not being aligned is also the culprit of the tire wear...Get an alignment ASAP..
Then you will know where you stand on specs...I am only dropped an inch and have -1 degree of camber in fronts and -2 degrees in rear.

Camber is at 4degrees and wheel spacer 25mm I think if I get a 15mm spacer and set camber to 2.5degrees it will give the same look and give 3mm more of clearance
I would think you would have more clearance then 3mm...You are gaining 10mm off the bat on the spacers..You should be fine with 3degrees in rear since you are lower...Just keep toe in check and you will be fine...
You have two issues, you need to get your alignment corrected and let's assume you haven't installed a camber kit....which you need to do. Camber kit installed and alignment will solve your tire wear issues. Rubbing....you can either get your wheel wells pulled or get smaller spacers, your choice. Camber kits are sold here on our MARKETPLACE under vendor suspension, SPL is what I'm using.
