well I got my rims and tires on..... My rear 265/30/19 9.5 is rubbing when I hit a bump no passengers on the back. I was going to have the car lowered but need some advice....

can I have it rolled?
is my shocks bad?
or do I need to have it cambered?

pls help....

thanks

lowering it will probably help since it will add some camber to the rears. Mine rubs when lowered and I got passengers going over bumps. Im not concerned with the area rubbing because its just the plastic body part, and I hope it will just wear down with time

FrankW told me it wouldnt rub if you had that setup

Blake P

What's the offset of your wheels? With the correct offset, this setup should not rub. You can always roll and/or shave the fenders.

Blake is right... I have that very same setup and I DO NOT RUB what so ever. My car is lowered too. I can barely stick in finger in the wheel gap.

+37 on the rear..... can they camber the rear on this car so it doesnt rub?

xxbenzc230kxx

i dont rub either.. and my rear is pretty much tucked...its prob the offset.. or you can roll and/or shave your fenders..and it might be the tires have a big part of it also

Trekman

sup Ace hay do you know anyone that can roll my fender?

xxbenzc230kxx

wssupp .. man i only trust Darwin @ CArlab..give them a call.. 1650-641-0194/1408-718-2986

Trekman

good to know I will give him a call

FrankW

depends on your offset for the rims.

The TSW has more aggressive offset because it has a bigger lip in the rear.

My own car's rubbing but my friend's car doesn't.

Trekman

frank what do you think I should do to fix the problem?

FrankW

if you are on stock right now, it's 99% rubbing on the tabs where the bumper meets the fender. Just have your shop shave that part off you should be fine.

Trekman

the palstic molding correct? if I lower my car do I need camber links? and do you know where I can get them?

FrankW

yup the plastic molding inside. You can get the camber to closer to factory spec if you have the camber kit, but it's not really necessary unless you really slam the car to the ground which will give you a lot of negative camber. One of the member on here provides them. Not sure who tho. You'll have to search the forums for that.

alignment's needed after you lower the car btw.

Trekman

ok frank thanks I will try it tomorrow..... can sleep cuz im kinda pissed that my car is rubbing now...

FrankW

after 3 trips to shop to shave/roll the fender, mine still rubs ...lolz...

Trekman

with your new rims or the old ones you have?

FrankW

new rims...cuz they were made to fit on the 03 C230k sedan, not the C32 so I had to run spacers in the rear.

The Axis didn't have any problem with rubbing at all until I went stupid and put on the spacers.
