Tires rubbing after lowering

[ryanDC]

Just got my car lowered yesterday on F&F Type One coilovers, dropped 2 inches.

Driving straight and turning corners are fine for the most part. But if I have to turn the wheel all the way, i can hear the tires rubbing.

Is this a camber problem or are my tires just like a trucks? I think they are 205/60PR15

you may want to try to roll your fenders

im thinking low profile tires would do the trick.

correct me if im wrong

more money to spend.......sweet

so is it bad to only replace the front tires?

id do this, the body turns out nicer and more unique. and you should do it quick, cuz if you just got it lowered, it will lower even more, kinda like a break in period.

I never see any other lowered teggies with rolled fenders. I wouldnt want any body work done to it

Get a 205/55 fir the front.

Those tires are enormous looking in the front

[Rich-PMS]

205/55 are same width, just not as tall

Dang you must have some pretty tall tires. My tires are 195/55's.

do not get these. the proper size for lowering with no wheel gap is 195/50R15. i know lots of people running wider and taller tires with the sizes listed above with rubbing issues still.

ive had mine slammed on the same tire size and had no rubbing issues. my guess is that youre rubbing on the fender liner.

heres an example

also, look around in the slammed info thread in the suspension section. theres tons of info there.
