BIGWILL · 06-13-2006, 09:57 AM

I'm having all kinds of rubbing issues with my rear set (275/30/19) on H&R Sport springs:mad: :mad: :mad:

Probably depends on what your wheel setup is, especially the wheel's offset.

I used to have rubbing issues til' I had my fenders rolled just a little

jop!
usually its not much that rubs. i had to "roll" about 2cm of 1 fender and rubbing was gone in the wind

well, since we dont know your offset, it may also be something serious.

ctgazer · 06-14-2006, 06:24 AM

you musta gone with one helluva aggressive offset if 275's rub that much...mine only only rub on big dips and its not even rubbing that much anymore...the lining wears down so im good at the moment..

size of wheels would help

yeah I have some big time rubbing on 275/30/20 Nitto 555 w/ H&R sport drop tires are too chubby for my offset though....that's why I changed my tire to 255/30/20 BFgoodrich..how bad is your rubbing issue Will?

BIGWILL · 06-14-2006, 08:23 AM

Sorry all that I didnt reply sooner had an family emergency, all is good. Back to the question I don't know the offset of the wheels, I'll have to get that from James at Creative. Yeah I have rubbing issues when I go over slight dips in the road and when I carry folks in the back, not sure if it's bottoming out or rubbing on the side walls. It does'nt seem to be chewing the side wall. Could it be that my car is too lowered?

jojogargoles · 06-14-2006, 10:22 AM

im planning to get a 20" also will it rub if i retain my sport suspension?

do you see any marks on the side wall of your tires? check it out and check you fenders where the scrapes are, also check the fender liner (black plastic cover) . IMO 275 is to wide with an agressive offset..

Roll your fenders and you should be fine. If not you will need to go with a more stretched tire. It's not your drop, when I had 19" on H&R sport springs it never once rubbed on the carpet.

They rolled the inner fender all the way so it's flush. We also did a bit of grinding on a metal dimple near the rear of the fender. I still get carpet rub with people in the back so when I change to coils I will raise it up just a little bit.

markE90 · 06-14-2006, 10:42 PM

thanks Ryan, yeah I did that on mine as well, im rubbing on the edge of the bumper lip...

bavarian06 · 06-15-2006, 12:30 AM

for the guys that dropped their cars, you happen to have before and after pictures? im rubbing already on factory sport pkg height; rear that is.

BIGWILL · 06-17-2006, 02:10 PM

Thanks All,
I had my rear fenders rolled by James at Creative Auto. He did an excellent job, no rubbing issues. I may have to roll the front

E90PWR · 06-17-2006, 05:40 PM

I have stock Sport Suspension.

I have 245-35-20 Toyo Proxes T1R in Front and the shoulders of the tires are rubbing on full lock against the front splash guard. On high speed dips the tire will touch the top of the fender liner as well.

I have 275-30-20 Toyo Proxes T1R in Rear and they seem to be fine and they will tuck nicely in when I have a full load of passengers as well as if I lower the car.

No. You don't want to roll the front fenders it will mess them up. Glad you got the rears sorted out. Start coming to the meets brotha, we want to see your car in person.

Thanks, when's the next meet? I would love to see everyone's cars in person. . I've been so busy lately with my daughter's high school grad.
Oh yeah,I think you were right about the rear window spoiler, I don't care for the look.

We are planning to have one in July. Maybe a summer beach BBQ or something.

Regarding the roof spoiler I think it would look great if the shark fin was not there but with both it looks a little busy.

tl_boy · 06-18-2006, 03:02 PM

shiet hope my 235 fronts and 275 rears don't rub when i mount 'em.

Busy is the right word, I'm thinking of dropping the spoiler. Count me in for the meet as long as it's not the weekend of the 15-16th (23rd Wedding Anniv), I love my bimmer, but the dog house would be pretty cold.
