I'm just wondering what a "happy" set-up is between lowering/bigger wheels and rubbing issues.
I'm lowered approx 1.5" all around (trd springs, kyb/oem shocks) with 33+, 18x7.5 225/40/18 wheels and am having some rubbing issues from the rear. Since the upgrade from the 17's (17x7.5, 215/45/17, 33+) the rubbing seems to have increased dramatically. Before it would only be over signifigant bumps, or at high (35+mph) speeds, but now I'm rubbing on smaller bumps and at lesser speeds >10mph. I believe the PO told me the sway bars/bushings could be causing this noise as well. How would I check to see what is causing me to rub, whether it is the sways or the wheels |

Hey man
I got 18x7.5's on my beast and its lowered bout 1.75 inches. And holly ****... If im turning and i hit a bump, my tire slams into my fenders and it really sounds bad. Cant be too good for the tires either. Im startin to see the gouges. bad news. I think with my new rims im gonnd go with 17's. Almost the same look, much better driving. |
