jazz1 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 roll your arches if that dont work you need coilovers, mine stick out a little bit but i have no rubbing issues because i have coilovers and iv rolled the arches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Your wheels may not be the perfect offest, I ran 265's with loads of clearance, rolling or grinding the arches looks like the only solution without changing wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 On 19's *shudder* the tyre profile should be 30, not 35. Ultimately though if your wheels are the wrong offset then whatever profile you have you'll get rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkorangerover Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 they were new, and sold as supra wheels, from a shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 What size tires have you put on them and what offset are the wheels? I use to run 275 on 17" rears without any rubbing issues, whats your wheel offsets? maybe due to offsets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 they were new, and sold as supra wheels, from a shop That doesn't mean they're the right offset, but as I stated your tyre profile is too large which will certainly be contributing.

AJI Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 as Thorin says... on 19" diametre the profile (to keep same rolling radius as stock tyres) should be 30 and not 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 they were new, and sold as supra wheels, from a shop Find out from said shop, what the width and offset of the wheels is, if they are rubbing then the offset is likely to be too low. The wrong tyre size will also be making the problem worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
