So i got rims from one of the guys on the forums installed them looks good the car is almost complete but now i feel like I need springs since they do rub sometimes on hills or dips any suggestions on what springs and how much?

if it tyres rubs ur guard its usually wrong offset, lowering springs will make it worse
BUT
by the love of god
and for all thats holy
lower that damn thing

kirillbenz22

it only rubs if im going too quick and its a downhill coming up on an uphill thats all if I get springs should i get sport springs I dont want to lower it it will make it worse. I dont know much about sport suspension or springs.

I had same problem, but it was rubbing on the inside felt wheel well, just pound it out with a hammer, as the back of the felt is aluminum. Super Sport or coils!

oh wow uhmm were do I hit im confused or were you kidding about the hammer part? lol

hahhahahha dont u hate that... anyways find out where its rubbing if its the fender u might wanna get em rolled or if its rubbing against the plastic on the inner side of the fender maybe a spacer will fix that

ulovemybenzo

oh yea fix the rubbin before u lower it too.. when u lower it .. it might even get worse..

kirillbenz22

thank you for the reply agreed! the thing is it only rubs if im gong fast on a bump like over 50MPH or over a dip is that normal?

kirill, as others have stated before, you're rubbing cause those wheels have the wrong offsets. You can see from the pics that they sit just a bit too far out and when your springs compress, you're probably hitting your fender. If you don't want to get new wheels, first thing you should is find out exactly where they're hitting. If it's the inner lip of the fender, you can cut that part out if it's the front, roll if it's the rear. If that doesn't work, you can also get adjustable camber arms and induce some negative cambering which can help it just tuck it in on spring compression. Lastly you can get some coilovers with adjustable damping that can stiffen the bounce without dropping it lower.

they guy i bought it from had it on his c350 and did not have problems its the same offset

i asked he said "My car is lowered with H&R sports springs and wasn't rubbing" so maybe I need springs the car stock is not made for 19's most likely however...i think it only rubs on the left front tire but it dose not sound like a rub it sounds like it hits plastic

I think you better off getting new wheels with the right offset.
