20/21 Wheel/Tire Rubbing on Dips

Hello All, Happy New Year.

I just picked up a set of 20/21 wheels and tires and followed the recommended sizing but I’m experiencing some rubbing on freeway dips/dives in the front passenger side and rear driver side.

I was going to take it in for alignment to see if that can help but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Setup: KW HAS lowered all the way (still has some gap fender to tire)

20x9.5 ET48 265/30/20
21x12 ET62 325/25/21

Thank You,

Zak

That’s the right set up, get the car raised a bit, I’d be shocked if fully “slammed” on the KW is not the issue assuming all else mechanically sound and tight.

Beauty and handling characteristics are in the eye of the beholder, but my last GTS looked and more importantly performed the best when my KW’s had the car lowered around 0.75”

Sorry I cant help with the issue but I'd love to see a pic of your new wheels as I'm soon to be in the market for some new shoes for my 16 GTS, I'm considering 20/21 but I kinda like the idea of keeping the 19/20 setup just going wider with a better offset.

You got it, I’m getting it dialed in at the aligment/suspension shop and I’ll take pictures.

They recommended a raise up and re-alignment thanks @dlefty
