H&R Spacers Problems

LennonM4 · 05-27-2019, 08:35 PM

Recently did H&R 15 MM spacers front and back. Loved the look of the car. But happened to realised when I'm turning the car , there is a loud noise (sounds like the tyre Scrub against the inner part of the car) . Anyone else experience this?

Are you lowered? Maybe the tire rubbing on the inner tire well?

Try to replicate the conditions the car is in when you are scraping, ie pulling out of driveway or making slow speed u-turn. Keep the car in that position(safely and away from traffic, etc,) then go look and feel in your wheel wells and figure out what is happening. You can also look for scuffs on your fender liner, strut, control arm, etc for signs of scraping. Do it sooner than later in case you are doing damage to some component that will be more expensive than just changing to 10 or 12mm spacers.

Makes no sense to me. You added spacers and now rubbing the inner part of the car?

I'm sure you rubbing on the front fender cover.

Oh yeah I didn't know what was it called. Yeap it's definitely the front fender cover, find it really noisy and annoying to be honest.

Heat gun and go. That's the cleanest solution.

Get some heat and form your inner fender liner or get less wide spacers.

I'm assuming you're on 20" Competition Wheels?
