alright heres my scenario. im running a 18x8 +35 offset wheel with a 225/40/18 tire and when i drive depending on how the car is leaning goin up driveways and entrances the driver side rear wheel rubs. Thats the only wheels that rub though so my dad said i should get a stiffer spring but my thoughts were i think the struts bad and not the spring.

so what i want from this. my tire not to rub and i would love to lower it a little but not rub the tire if possible

so hers what im trying to decide as moneys tight right now
-i would love coilovers but to expensive(dont want racelands)
-should i get new/used OEM struts
-get TRD struts and use current springs
-save a little and buy a cheaper set of struts and spring ether OEM or tokico or something

not sure what to do as i really dont wanna spend more then 500 bucks as im also trying to get a new exhaust

 

im seeing these tokico sets around and they have the struts and springs together for 500 bucks..thoughts on them

 

just get coilovers

 

coilovers just arent a option..im broke and they are way to expensive at the moment and i dont race the car so they arent really needed more of just over kill. i just wanna get some good struts and spring that are a tad lower, and stiffer so no rubbing

 

sounds like another raceland customer soon..

 

zomg racelands r da best broseph

 

why is this in PPC?

 

^^^ just reported it; will have it moved soon

 

oops my bad..had no idea this was in ppc

this is what i was looking at but im not sure of the spring rates and i need a stiffer spring so i might just get the struts and get spring i know the rate of..thoughts?

 

just delete this thread

 

Buy used coilovers. New springs and struts are gonna be just as much

 

i cant find anyone selling sued coil-overs
today when i got home i noticed it seems the wheels thats rubbing is sticking out farther then the other..attached photos sorry fro crappy phone quality

wheel thats sticking out:


other wheels for reference:



what would cause this

 

Your alignment, it's ____ed.

 

ya i figured that one out now..hopefully can take it and get it aligned soon. ive only had the car a month and i woulda assumed when they mounted balanced and installed the new wheels and tires they woulda noticed it and said something but guess not

 

Hard to tell from the pictures, but D/S looks like you have too much toe-in, P/S looks like too much camber.

Or the wheels could just be mounted improperly.

 

dang got 2 threads going

 

ya this was supposed to be deleted cuz it was in wrong section on accident but they just moved it instead..what ever

 

You car has bad toe.. easy fix jack the car up and pull it in some... I have a camber issue with my car which you need to buy things fo and i rub its a life style... but racelands good set of coilovers for the price i love mine.

 

ima get it taken in for a alignment hopefully in the next couple days because i was looking today and all the wheels look wacked out
