My new wheels have come in and after installing them on my car and going for a test drive I am experiencing rubbing issues in the back when hitting dips and bumps on the road even tho i set my rear suspension at 10 out of 16. My front are set to full stiff. I am on stance gr+ true coils btw. My rear fenders have been rolled previously for my old setup when I had my Volk GT-S which I had no rubbing issues. However now with my new wheels which are 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 +5 all around. I am having those same rubbing issues again on the rear. The fronts only seem to rub when i make sharp turns or when I slowly am coming up an entrance somewhere. Yes it rubs pretty bad even though i am going extremely slow up the entrance and coming in at an angle.

I am running yokohama s-drive 225/35/20 up front and 245/35/20 in the rears. I have an SPC camber kit in the rear. My only other option to fix the rear is to add more negative camber which i don't want. I prefer to roll/pull it flat as possible in the rear.

If i can get away without rolling the front by removing the 2 or 3 screws that holds the fender lining in place then i rather go with that. Heard a few people telling me that this solved the rubbing issue up front. But before I go ahead and jack my car up and remove the front wheels can someone let me know if this will fix the rubbing issue i have up front? It's a PITA to jack my car up because it's extremely low. I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me beforehand before I attempt to do this.

Thanks in advance guys.

 

well i dont know if this will help YOUR car. but removing those screws definatly helped my car.

 

Kennymo, really? What are the specs on your tires and wheels, are you running an aggressive and stretched fitment?

If you remove those screws will the fender lining come off? That's what I'm concerned about.

 

no the fender lining wont come off. you only remove 2 screws on each side. as of right now my tires are 245/35/20 which is no where near agressive and stretched on a 8.5 inch rim. but the offset is +15.

 

yea those freaking screws left a nice indention in my fender.

 

G35_FTMFW, so you took off those screws too and the rubbing issue went away up front? I really hope I can get away with having to roll or pull the front fenders.

 

Okay here's an update guys. I manage to find some time to raise my car up and removed those 3 screws on either side of the front that holds the fender liner to the fenders along with the clip that it attaches too. Seem's like that has solved my rubbing issues. I don't really hear any nasty noise when going up places now. However I do see some contact or tire marks on that lil bump on the fender liner where the bumper meets the fender. Seems like I'll just leave it alone and let the tire do the filing for me.

 

Kwon you do realize that this thread is full of fail w/o pics?

 

Be careful on just removing those screws and not doing a roll. Ur tires can catch the tabs and really miss up ur fenders. Also ur tires could b rubbing where ur fender and ur front bumper meet. We had to bend up a lil piece of metal so that it wouldn't eat away at my buddy car.

As for jacking up ur car. Get urself a 2x4 to ride up on then get a low pro jack jack from harbor freight to jack it up.

Ur probably gonna be tweaking ur suspension a few more time before u feel like it's just right.

Welcome to the fitment game.

 

yea mine is still rubbing on the hump where the corner light is at. after i get my new tires though it should.
