this belongs here in the main section and not the tire section.

i posted about offset a couple of days ago and i think i noticed the rubbing trend..

tire size makes a bigger difference than offset

so here is how we are going to do it

Wheel Size:
Offset:
Tire Size:
Suspension:
When I Rub:

I recently got new tires with more of a square side wall and the front end rubs, mostly on the drivers side(Im assuming because Im on that side so the weight is shifted more on that side) You can see in the post that tire is right to the fenders in the front and I will probably install spacers in the rear to even it out.

 

There's a lot more to fitment and rubbing than what's listed. Without getting too technical, you should add;

Alignment specs
Fender mods
Ride Height

As an example - I'm on 18x7.5 +40 w/ 225/40s just because I got them to work, doesn't mean someone else will (unless they do some crazy fender pull)

 

The following are all of the wheel setups I've had so far...Note: these are all at stock height, alignment and no camber or fender modifications

Stock Wheels:
16x6
+53 offset
185/55/16
No Rubbing

First Set:
17x7
+40 offset
205/40/17
No Rubbing

First Set(Alteration):
17x7
+40 offset front, +15 Rear(including 25mm spacer)
205/40/17
LOTS of rubbing in the rear with passengers on tiny tiny bumps and turns
(This setup lasted like a week)

Second Set:
17x7
+42
205/40/17
No rubbing at all

Third Set:
15x7
+36 offset
205/55/15
rubs barely on the fronts during very fast hard turns...not normal driving lol. A slight fender pull or a little camber would probably fix this.

I want to get these wheels 16x9 25 offset, car is lowered and rear fenders and rolled and pulled from previous wheels. I know it'll fit the rear just unsure about the front. Do you guys think it'll fit fine?
