Rubbing in the front

ttbmer · 09-20-2011, 07:49 PM

Just got mma brand new set of AD08s
Forgestar F14 19x8.5 ET 32
19x10 ET38
245/35/19 Front
275/30/19 Rear

The front tires rub the wheel-well when making a U-turn. They r fine when making normal turns in town driving but when I have to do a 90 degree turn they rub? I\'d really like to keep this set up is there a way to fix this or the only way is by going with a smaller tire?

Where do they rub exactly? If they're rubbing on the fenders, you might be out of luck if you have an E92 (plastic fenders can't be rolled).

Other points of rubbing include a fender bolt and the oil cooler grill. You can replace or remove the bolt and kind of massage the grill out of the way.

The bolt can be taken out without any issues, as far as I can tell. The grill and fender liner can be adjusted a little bit by loosening all the mounting bolts and pushing it out of the way and then re-tightening it in place. If it's just slight rubbing, there's nothing to worry about.

You need different tire size: 235/35F and 265/30R.

Advans run wider then a "typical" tire.

Not really I'm straight in the rear actually and the rub in the front can be worked out just needed some ideas.
