cs7 and tyres?

nnguyen04 · 08-19-2012, 09:47 PM

got some cs7 18x8 and 18x9 dropped on h&r supersport

18x8
with 215/40/18 - problem is that i rub when turning - would a 215/35/18 fix my problem? my friend said i should get 205/40/18 .. but that would only give me a difference diameter of 1.3%.. 215/35/18 would give me a difference of 3.88%..

Thanks!

The camber can be adjusted if the alignment peg in the strut mounts removed. The extra negative camber should give an extra 5mm of space.

What is your drop; An inch or more?

Where is the rub happening?

What are the tires; mfg/series?

Weird, your springs must have dropped you really low and your brand of tire must run tall. I'd definitely try to fix it by going 215/35, I'd bet it's too tall. But before you fix it figure out where you rub and try to do a little body work so that even with a better fit you'll have better clearance and not rub occasionally.
