Wheel rubbing issue with 17"

[bbunkerc397]

My 17" wheels rub a little in the front linear only when hard right or left, does anyone know of quick fix?

Find out where it rubs, and cut that area out with a exacto knife. What size tires are you running?

[bbunkerc397]

I'm running 215/40/17 tires they only rub a little bit. If I cut them water will spray into the engine compartment though.

What's the offset of the rims? Your car lowered?

[bbunkerc397]

I think it is 40 offset, no it's not lowered yet. I'm considering ksport coilover set.

might consider a 5mm spacer and push the wheels out a little.

I'm running 215/40/17 with eibach/HP combo... and no rub.

I was running 215 40 17 before as well and my car is proly the lowest on the site. I had no rub.

As Ionic stated, run a 3-5mm spacer to get the wheel out abit or cut the fender abit.. Have you looked where it is rubbing? Maybe the inner fender popped out abit and is not as flush as it should be..

Yeah I doubt your wheels are 40 offset because then there would be no rubbing.

They are a 40 off set, some how they rub I will post pictures tonight.
