Default Ok Guys Read This Its Kinda Long I Put The Lm's on and need your ideas...

Ok I had the rims sitting in my house waiting for nice weather to put them on.. I put them on and im rubbing only on the passengers side what could this be? I rolled the fenders at Rojo and the front is ok but still does at sometime but the passenger's rear now rubs and seems like the passengers rear is a lil lower? How could this be? The suspension is h&r springs and bilstein shocks.. There might be some in corrections in this post but I got to get to bed and wanted to know should I sell them or what should I do I mean what could I get that's better or equal to the LM's??? Please post with some ideas guys... There a 32MM off set which Tire Rack sold me and said I wont have problems and now saying that they cant do anything about it... the tire size is 235-35-19 there 19x8.5

Default You're at about ~25.00 to 25.50", on 19" LMs, that's gray area. Tire Rack...

...should have clarified to you, when they say "It won't rub", they are referring to stock suspension height. Once you change the suspension and/or lower it, they are not responsible for potential rubbing.

Cars are imperfect and I guess you got a conservative fender. I know 4 people with a ~25.00" drop on 19" LMs with no rubbing issues once the fenders were rolled/wheel liner cut.

One suggestion: you may want to switch tires to Falken GRBs or a similar tire that runs a bit narrower in 235/35ZR19.

Default If it's worth it to you to keep the LM's just get coilovers and raise that thing...or get

your shocks grooved...either way they'll have to be raised to at least 25.25"
