Wheel sizing or Shock issue?

Bentley2012 · 10-01-2015, 09:02 AM

Hey guys,

Having some serious rubbing issues. Im on Alufelgen CS7 19x8.5f (225/40/19), 19x9.5r (255/35/19). I think the offset is et35. Ive had my fenders rolled (could have not been done properly), and the car is on stock sport suspension. I am running 20mm spacers in the rear and 10mm in the front which could very well be my issue but wouldn't adding camber in the front/rear alleviate this? Or is the size of the spacer simply to large for this to work? Could it be that the shocks are worn so the car is sitting lower than normal? I rub even on relatively shallow dips with just myself in the car.

I love the way it looks but the excessive rubbing is killing me. Any advice?

-SP

Your tires are too tall. 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 are the stock sizes. Have you tried taking off the spacer to see if that helps? Are you rubbing in the front or rear?

Both your tires and spacers are a cause for the rubbing. Also, depending on what tire brand you went with, some tire brands run wider/narrower than others.

Ill double check the sidewall height when i get home. It did not rub without any spacers at all but Im hoping there is a way to make it work with the spacers. I want the wheels flush rather than tucked. I was wrong however about the rear tire specs. They are actually 265/30/19 Hankook v12 evo2. I thought hankooks werent on the wider end of the over state/under state spectrum.
