Rear Rubbing Problem

jaymax · 11-03-2011, 07:15 AM

Just fitted my SSR 19" ET30 9.5j wheels on my E90 LCI and was surprised tt there is minor rubbing at dips and when rear is seated. Wheels are wrapped with Goodyear ASM2 265/30/19 rubbers which are wat i call fatty tires. They're even broader than my previous PS2 but which rounded side wall instead of squarish like PS2. I'm running KW v3's with setting somewhere in the middle and with one finger clearance. And already running a -2 camber setting, nothing more as the inner wear is too unbearable.

I know its common to have fender rubbing but my issue is that my tires are hitting against the roof lining of the fender wall. Is there any technique's to rectify this issue, any DIY tricks? I'm not inclined to cut it up but was thinking of glueing it against the car body. Not sure if this is possible so open to suggestions, Thanks in advance.

so its rubbing at the top of the liner? i find this hard to believe since you are not nearly as low as i am from what you describe, and i do not rub.

anyways, adjust the dampening a bit stiffer and see if that helps.

Just but something like a small plastic tube into the fender ouching the lining out.

Hmm that's kind of odd that the fender liner. I would see if it's sagging at all to see if you can push it up for more clearance.
