Rubbing problems
Well i got my car lowered on h techs which i loved.. But now that i got my 18's with 225/45 g force kdw 2's the car rubs alot and can get scary. Like in hard turns the front will hit the fender and make me feel outta control for a second and on the highway the other day with 4 people in the car hitting the hard city bumps at 65-70 the car felt uneasy and unstable, prolly cus the rubbing. what can i do, the only thing i can think of is switch to trd springs but then i may have a big wheel gap again
.. Anyone know any advice.. alright thanks
Here's what you need to correct:
switch to 225/40
dont do that
drive like a grandpa with that many people
slow down. you'll also wear out your wheel bearings, shocks, alignment, and other things doing that. if you get shorter tires (like 225/40), you'll likely bend or crack the wheel doing that.

S-L-O-W D-O-W-N.
Why are you driving 65-70 over city bumps?
Who on Earth recommended a 225/45 tire? If a shop did, I would promptly go back and have them
exchanged for 225/40s. (If it wasn't your fault.) TRDs are not that bad. I have them and I like them
a lot for a DD. But if you keep driving like you are, even TRDs can't help you.

well its on the highway and thats the speed limit so i cant slow down.. I just moved back to the city and the bumps on the highway are pretty big, im not like speeding on regular bumpy roads, lol.. Also how much smaller is a 225/40 tire?? thanks for helpin yall...
And what sucks is i got my g force kdw'2 tires and they were 600$ so that would kind of suck having to just take them off and get another 600$ worth of tires to fix, im confuesed on what to do..

Are they bumps or dips? Either way, tell you're local Gov. to fix the roads.
LIke its on the highway random like every 10 ft. they'll be one for a mile or so and they just slam the car down which makes it rub.. Not speed bumps but do feel like it.. O and the tires are 225/40/18 so my only thought would be trd springs to fix unless you guys know any other, and sorry for not saying it was the highway lol.. soo any suggestions..
