now back to the rubbing issue on the right rear side is were it only slightly rubs not on bumps not on high speed but only on dips is were i hear the sound ( shhh )for about 1-2 sec i was expecting to have a bigger issue of rubbing with the offset being et 45 for the rear but like i said it doesnt even rub on rough NYC bumps. only if there is a lane that has a dip, it will rub unless im going super slow. Although i just notice last night as i was going fast into a sharp right turn hard i was hearing some kind of wobbling sound.
i coudnt tell which side this was coming from it sounded like something was loose? or something was touching on and off . what i dont understand is that this is not the first time that i have taking this sharp right turn so hard with the VMR setup and never heard it before until last night. What can it be?
Also i noticed that the front shock is Very i mean very close to touching the VMR rim. only my driver license card fits in between the shock and the VMR rim can this be the reason why i hear the wobbling sound on a sharp hard turn?? is it normal for the rim to be so close to the shock like that? do i need spacers? i will be getting my fenders rolled next week just to be on the safe side. i will post more results after the fenders have been rolled up
here is the videos of the front shock and rim almost touching
