Anyone with H&R Sport drop rub?

gizmo335i · 08-12-2010, 05:51 AM

Anyone rub only on the passenger side?

I put my Mtech bulbs in yesterday. I pulled the wheels off and removed the fender well pieces almost completely. I'm sure I put them back on right along with all the screws. I backed out of a parking spot this morning and when I turned the wheels to the left, I heard rubbing. I stopped and looked at it with the wheel turned all the way left and it's rubbing. It's good on the driver's side but I guess that would be because the driver's side sits up just a bit higher.

I'm sure I'm just paranoid and it was like this before yesterday but I just think I would have heard it. And I guess it's no big deal since how often do you turn the wheels all the way unless backing out? But I just wanted to see if anyone else noticed this with the same drop?

There's a bunch of variables so please let us know your exact wheel/tire setup. Let me know that information and I"ll do my best to diagnose the problem for you.

Well, I played around and it only rubs the fender well if turned all the way left on the passenger side. So I'm not too worried about it. The only time I'll turn the wheel that far is backing up..

I have 19X8.5 235/35 +30

I think I remember a couple guys saying they had the same thing...

I have no issue. I have 18x9.5 on +25 and no rubbing.

Even if you turn your wheels ALL the way to the left, your passenger side isn't touching the fender wells? And you are on H&R sport?

Hankook's

265/30

Factory Alignment Specs

Under hard compression with 1-2 people in the rear or large dips/whoops in the road is the only time I hear it.

Its very slight, where I can see dirt marks on the outside edge of the tire.

It is strange that its rubbing on the passenger side

OHHHH I thought you guys were talking about REAR!
Sorry, in the front I'm running something very subtle.
Nevermind.
