Rub problem Options

[tomazws]

I have a 17" but recently got some fat donuts for a more smooth ride... The whole wheel fits perfectly inside the wheel well, the only problem is when i turn the wheel to the extreme, the back of the wheel will rub the plastic coverings. I can live with that, should be no problem right?

So today, I was going South on Rosemead Blvd onto the 180 degree ramp onto the 60 East fwy. In the middle of the ramp, there's a slight dip. I was prolly going around 30 ~ 40 (regular speed) on the ramp through that dip, and I heard a nasty rubber VS plastic scratch noise coming from the front. Seems like the outer corner of the tire is rubbing the plastic during the 180 turn, with the wheel depressed running over the dip.... if I keep doing that, the tires are like rubbing on the wheel-well like a eraser huh?




Is there something I should do? like take out the plastics or something? Or no way to avoid it, just go slower? I see some BMWs and G35s have their wheels perfectly fit into the wheel well, how the hell do they turn that without rubbing?

i sugest getting a heat gun and try to bend the plastic to give the tires more room.

I've seen some lowered trucks where they actually hammer in parts of the body to get the tires to clear.
