anyone rub their tires when lowered?
hey all-
so I'm still having my tires rub after lowering my car on Eibach Sportline Springs (1.7" drop) and some OK aftermarket struts (seem fine).
the thing is I did a front & rear camber kit when I dropped the car and that is prolly where my troubles began. I dropped the car and set the wheels straight, adding the positive camber back to correct for the 1.7" drop.
at first the back tires rubbed on the outer fenders. so I added enough negative camber to allow the tires to clear the fenders.
now only the front rub sometimes.
it seems to mostly happen when the wheels are turned in a corner. It is definitely a tight fit in the wheel well. it hits a bump and the tire rubs on the car.
I had to stop and remove my splash guards the other night in hopes of giving it enough clearance. no good. the tires appear to be rubbing where the inner wheel well sheets are tacked together.
how do I fix this? take off the camber kit?
btw I'm running 195/60/14 and 195/60/15" wheels and even the 14's rub so it's not that.
photo to come.
