wheels rub

[bigdaddymike745]

i bought some 17 rims and they are sitting one 225 size wide tires. im having a problem when i drive on freeways around 80mph. when i hit slight dip on freeway, my tires are ending up rubbing on the rear fender . i think its duie to them being too wide. i think that tighter strings would help. can someone suggest something?

"tighter strings" ???

you could just roll your rear fender.

whats the tire profile (225/xx/17), rim width and offset? are you lowered? you're in a gen5 so you either gotta have a really fucking big tire or the wrong offset.

this is it

that hapens mostly if i have someone in the back of the car. when the force of the car drops down during road change in altitude

i htink my tires are 55 or 65. i gotta check

what u mean by ofset?

the rims are nice and i only got them with tires for $400

whats it? your pic didn't show up.

btw i added to my post above.

you shouldn't rub ... whats the offset on the rims?

[BLUEMEANIE]

if your off set tis too low the wheel will stick out, if its too high it will rub the strut.

btw, offset is the same as backspacing

[bigdaddymike745]

can i change offset?

i think there ZERO offset

^ HAHAH You don't have an AE86, by chance do you?

I doubt they're 0 offset. Probably +35 just that your tires have a really fat sidewall.

roll the fenders...cheapest way out on this one

[bigdaddymike745]

how do you roll fenders. bend the endge going inside the fender?. i looked at the tire, i can see the mark from the fenders but it dont liike like it can cause serious damage to it?
