How Bad IS rubbing?

taichi · 03-31-2007, 01:42 AM

So i got my rims and i do not rub in normal driving situations unless i do a quick left turn. I think i will still do some minor fender rolling for the peace of mind, but how bad if it continues to rub? Thx for the advice.

roll the last inch of the fender; where it meets the rear bumper. that is the place where it rubs

rolling isnt that bad, where ever it is touching, it will eat away, so your tire and your fender, buth the fender is metal, so it might not totally eat away, but your tire will.

add some camber, that looks great tho

ironic · 03-31-2007, 10:47 AM

damn dude car looks really great tho

taichi · 03-31-2007, 03:34 PM

im a total noob..what does add some camber mean? Is it like purchasing a camber kit and have a body shop to install it? Does it have any negative effects to do with the tires because im changing the camber and the tire is not running straight?

I think i will roll the fender a bit even though rubbing wont kill my car, coz somtimes there will be 2 ppl in the back seat.

Just try rolling the rest of the fender first, if it still rubs, then you add more camber. And no, you dont need a camber kit for this car. But having more negative camber will make the inner part of your tires wear down faster.

got the problem too. but need to see if rolling fenders will work first.

i know with a negative camber the inner part of the tires will wear down faster but does it really really eat it up, or just a little bit?

camber kits are only for the fronts.. the rears can be adjusted via bolts connected to both control arms.

yeah looks great....but why are all these people having rubbing issues...don't you make sure and give yourself the uber guarantee that they won't rub. i am confused as to why this has been popping up lately... are these manufactorers just screwing people over saying "yeah they will fit fine" and then when they come they do not fit? why would you even buy a wheel that is so close to rubbing in the first place i think there are 100 types of m6 reps out there... couldn't you find one that fits without rubbing?
