So i installed tein s-techs and i have 18" wheels with 225/40 tires. I have a minor rubbing problem mainly on the front left wheel. It's just been rubbing the plastic part inside the wheel well so nothign relaly big...just really annoying. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? I was thinking either getting 225/35 tires or getting the koni shocks. Will the shocks keep ti from doing this? if not, what would you guys do? thanx

 

Shocks will do nothing for this. I would have gone with 225/18/35 though instead of 40's.

raise the car..

 

I have the same small rubbing problem. I just deal with it lol. I suppose trimming the plastic could help you out. Have a dremel?

 

what is the offset of your rims?

 

My question is when does it rub? Does it rub when turning or all the time? Either way th eoffset is too low on the wheels. You best bet probably would be to get the OTG wheel spacers.

 

I have some rubbing also...I figured it will eventually just rub itself away and it will be fixed lol. I just tend to ignore it most of the time though and deal with it. I rub whenever I hit a moderate sized bump or when turning at the speed of 40 or 50ish mph.
