H&R Coilovers. I don't get it either. The slightest turn to the left, and you can hear the tire scrubbing. They both rub under full compression, but thats understandable.

Mine was originally 19x9.5 ET 38 with the same tires as yours but with H&R Springs (not SS) and it rubs horribly on even small bumps. I got my rear shaved (must send to a reputable wheel shop and ask HRE how much you can shave off first) of a quarter inch so ET becomes 44. And it solved my rubbing problem until 3 or more ppl sitting in the car. When turning with 3 or more pax, it rubs as hell.. So to get it of this, I have my body shop shaved off the the fender lip only where it touches. Make sure they prime it up and repaint the shaved area and u r good to go. I didnt roll the fender because there were only 1/4 inch to roll... which IMO doesnt really do much and risk the cracked paint or from another thread (sry, dont remember which) risk damaging the fender. Anyway, now I can have 4 ppl sitting in the car turning with no rubbing issue with the fender. JUST ONLY the inner carpet lining thats rubbing which i dont really care. Hope this will help

*Or u can go for a skinnier rubber and risk bending ur HRE LOL

ok mine is not a nice stance as well but I think I might fit this thread



BTW front is ET 36 with 235/35/19 x 8.5wide no rubbing on the fender at all, just minimal rubbing on the inner carpet. And if you need more help, you should go ask Jimmythegreek. He is one of the many expert on rim/tire in this forum.

ET38 is a little more aggressive than my 41, im wondering, if i just shave the lip down a little, if that would solve it. I really dont wanna raise the car, or mill down the HRE's. Im going to test the 10mm spacers on the front tonight. That would make my fronts 19x8.5 ET31 Im sure that isnt going to work either.

ET31 LOL please post the pics when you did it... I want to see that!!

BTW You cant find smaller spacers for your rear? like 5mm? although I still like your ET40 way better but that might solve the majority of ur rubbing problem.

We shall see. Im sure its not going to work out. Maybe ill raise the coils a bit, so I can run the wheels flush with no rubbing.

I cant find hubcentric 5, or 8mm spacers. Im kinda iffie with the bolts centering the wheels.

Thanks for all the help though guys.

No, havent rolled anything. Im really trying to keep from doing that. I actually just dropped off all my 10mm spacers to my buddies machine shop. Were gonna mill a few mm off, till its the perfect flush, no rub fit. Ill post when everything is done, and working.

Man, with that offset, i highly recommend rolling your front fenders, especially when your turning and the tire is way out there, i would hate for you to have to repaint or replace your fender after the tire makes contact. My +44 is close for me!

My front HRE's are +41 now, and there is plenty of room, im gonna have the spacers milled down to 7mm. That should work perfect. Ill keep you guys posted on the progress.

Me too. Crazy thing is, I'm doing all this, and I have .5" larger lips coming for all four wheels. I'll be running 19x9 front, 19x10 rears once rebuilt. It should sit pretty flush withOut the spacers when done.

Don't you think of setting 255? For 9,5 it will be only slight stretch. Prevoius page you can see my 255 on 10th.
I have rubbing in the front, only one side, and if I had set 225 as Carlsson advise in their program it wouldn't, but I have 235 now.

are you going to be able to keep the spacers wheelcentric if you do that? Or are these spacers only hubcentric and not wheelcentric?

ive been trying to find 8mm hub and wheel centric spacers everywhere...
