Hi Guys ...

i lowered my car with H&R sport springs and it was great .

Then Suddenly when i fixed VMR V710 18`` wheels , the rubbing happened .

it is Rubbing on speed bumps and on unsteady roads .

i didnt changed the tires its the same old tires not larger or wider .


what to do to eleminate the rubbing ?

First do the Fender Screw Mod (Search it :wink:)

then get an alignment. If still rubbing after that come back :biggrin:

i told him the same thing :)

anwar, its true that ur tires are the same size and all, but what u don't know is that you were running OE wheels which are 7-8 in width (not sure) thats why you were not rubbing even with the H&R's On , now since the VMR has Stritched your Tire 8.5, you are rubbing in the front and maybe in the Rear ,

so do as Jason said ,

twisted torque, he's also rubbing because the VMRs stick out further than stock, the stock R wheels are 7.5" wide with an ET of 51, the VMRs are 8.5" wide ET45, so he is sticking out further with a wider wheel, therefore, rubbing
