Front tyres scrubbing *help*

[adrnln]

HI all

AS above i have just bought a Cefiro :inlove: and I have a set of HA TEIN coil over in it and was wondering what everyone was running on the front of their ceffy I have a set of 195/65/15 for now.

When turing into corners (some quicker then most) and my tyres scrub on the inner surround of the wheel arch and even on the middle if the tyre witdth ways

Rolling the guards is an option and willbe doing that but just wanted to hear anyone else's thoughts

If it's rubbing IN the car then get spacers- thats what i have on the front and the tyres are 215 on 8.5 rims i believe.

haha yeah the latter of what he said would be the best option

Yea the TEIN do have camber adjusters plus height and dampeners. but the main problem is that I have rubbing on the tyre width itself on the tread pattern some thing must be sticking into on a certain angle. I am getting it looked at today and fingers crossed it is nothing serious.

So out come the rubber mallet and taped up block - guard rolling here I come

Hehehe, I still need camber

But yeah, if you go spacers, dont forget to get the longer studs to go with it, or you will be living life on a thread (HAHAH! get it thread, like what the nut goes on to! my god Im funny!)

If its only rubbing on the plastic shroud as you said, just remove it doesnt do much anyway, mine scrubs up in there to but with the shrouds gone there is no probs

raise the car a bit (i know it looks funny) you got coilovers dude:)

well found the problem and sorted it ( with a hammer) a join of metal either from the suspension wall and outer gaurd wall joint like a knife edge and was directly above the tyre so when the suspension went up the tyre would hit this knife like egde causing it to scrape and cut at the same time.

I'll get pics tomorrow and post if i can to show what I really mean.

it had me pretty dumb struck

haha, you knob!!!!

I was going to ask if you still had your inner guard liners, (the plastic things).

The laurel has long wheel studs on it already which is good but im not a fan of spacers, but i think i will be getting the fronts rolled as it's mightly close all round.

[dangerous_daveo]

I still have my plasitc things in there, Im not taking them out either, stops rocks etc getting flicked up and dinting the guards from the inside.

And Mase, didnt you like my phun???

[someonestolecc]

Hmm plastic things.. Mine aren't there and I'd like to put something else in there (like fat tar) incase I blow a tyre (metal shredding my guards = not good).
