tire rubbing question

I always hear you guys talking about the side walls, and how the angle or something is that has less rubbing.

I am on kumho AST 195/50/15. The wheels are Rota circuit 10 45 offset

i am lowered on Tein springs with the t1r dampeners.

I only rub on hard corners.



got any suggestions?

take the wheel off and look in the fender well. there is usually one plastic clip that you are rubbing on. take off the plastic clip and no more rubbing.

you rub on that spec? which part front or rear? if front maybe you need to consider putting in camber bolts. I doubt you rub on the rear with +45

I'm amazed you rub at all with 195/50x15's on 45 mm offset wheels.. You must be lowered big time. Where is the rub?

take the tires off and remove the few clips holding the fender lining on and push it up over the dog-ears. Worked for me
