Ground down part of the plastic inside both rear wheelwells. Not sure if you can see in the first pic, but it looked like I could see where it was probably contacting the tire over some bigger bumps. It was only happening infrequently, so I will see how it goes this week and report back.

BEFORE

i have an 08 fit sport. i just put on some OZ 17 by 7 with an bfgoodrich g force tire 205/40ZR17 and when i put like 70 lbs of weight in the back and add three people my well was sitting on my rear tire. WTF and any suggestions?

 

I had the same problem, try a 195/40R17.

4 brands carry this size, Link for more info:

Well grinding that spot down helped, but did not eliminate the problem. Sadly I think I am looking at returning the wheels, and getting something that I dont like as much. Such is life!

 

you know what. with my wheels, it was hitting my rear bumper.


so i had to sand paper that beeCH down a bit. now theres absolutely no rubbing what so ever.

 

I feel your pain, I returned my first set as well because of the rubbing

My first rims....

 

What size/offset did you have, and what now? I am probably going to end up with a 16x7 42mm offset, what I have now are 16x7 40mm

 

Just cut that tab off completely and use a zip tie. I'm running 17x7 +40 with 205/40R17's, no problems anymore.

 

17x7 +42mm paired up with 205/40R17, I think the tires had a lot to do with it. Although Illusive was previously running 16x7 +42 and also had rubbing issues.

 

any more fixes yet for this rubbin?

 

Yeah, well maybe yeah, put different wheels on today. Look at the othter thread haha

 

Zipties Ftmfw!!
