Fender rubbing

OAM · 03-06-2012, 07:37 PM

I'm looking at getting some new wheels and the calculations tell me the fronts with a +25 offset would be pushed out 6mm so I went to check if they would rub the fender liner. Even with the stock setup I noticed that I'm just barely touching the fender liner, this look normal? What have you done with front wheel setups if this is a issue?

yeah I dont think thats right...

Looks too close relative to what I see as stock. FWIW, running 10mm spacers on all 4 corners on stock suspension/wheels/tires, no rubbing whatsoever

Really? Looks way too close? not sure if you can tell from the picture but the wheel is turned to where the tires would be the closest to the fender liner. would that make a difference in looking right or not. Here's another pic from the passenger side.

Mine is the same way stock and rubs with my winter set up

mine rub too.. even with 255/30 tire.

Wow, never realized how close it is stock.

I haven't check if mine is rub. IMHO if it is stock (All stock) it wont rub. unless you lowered the car or use bigger wheels/ tires. probably there's a chance.

good luck

My car is all stock, not lowered and that's how it looks on mine when the wheel is turned almost halfway.

That plastic there shaves done super easy. Vs the tires, there's no competition, the tires will win every time. There's no risk of wearing out your tires imo.

Can someone take a pic or at least tell me approx. how much clearance they are having between the tire and fender liner when the wheels are turned.

I think extremely tight clearances like those in pictures posted on this thread are normal (at least I hope so, because both my driver and passenger side are so close that, like the pictures above, it looks like there's contact, though there's not). Actual rubbing can't be normal (and mine don't rub). If yours looks different (i.e., if you can see space between outer tire edge and fender liner), would you mind posting pictures? Thanks.
