New suspension & spacers, but now I'm rubbing :(

Love the look, hate the rub. Need these rolled this weekend, asap.

Suspension are H&R Sport Springs on Tokico D-Specs, and Ichiba spacers, 20mm front and 25mm rear:

I've got 245/35/19 up front and 255/40/19 in the rear.

I like the beefier look, but might have to make a little compromise to not rub My front tires are just about toast anyways.

Hmmm... kinda important to mention, but where are you rubbing? in the front? or back? and when?


No rubbing issues for me

My fronts:
I have 245/35 with 20mm spacers

My rears:
I have 275/30 with 25mm spacers

I'm definitely rubbing in the rears. I'm not sure about the fronts. You've got the same spacer/tire set up as me in the fronts so I might be good there. As for when... whenever I take a higher speed turn (like an on ramp onto the highway) or anything that might cause me to bounce on the roads... even a smaller bump. But if I'm having the rears rolled, I mine as well do the fronts. I'd rather do this anyways for the extra insurance.

Strange how youd be rubbing in the rears and have thinner tires than me



EDIT: Just realized you had 255/40/19 in the rears... maybe thats your problem... reduce it

that your problem is that you're running wider than the oem tires and you're dropped. You just gotta roll your rear fenders and you should be good.

^ not exactly wider, but just taller... the sidewalls need to be slightly thinner/shorter

Well I'm hopin just a fender roll will fix my problem. I've still got a lot of mileage left on my rear tires, and those S4's aren't cheap.
