    Ronal Ls's Rubbing

    I have ronal ls's on es100s, there rubbing in the front when I try to turn (U turn) I dont think they should be rubbing since I am running the same tire size 205 55 15s as on my euro baskets. People who have these, do you have rubbing probs as well?

      Euro baskets are only 7 inch wide, not 7.5

          Well, you shouldn't have any rubbing with those wheels/tires. Has the car ever been in an accident?

                  Too much sidewall? Just a guess, cause don't most people run 50s?

                    Check to see if you have hanging plastic. Maybe it needs tiddying in your wheel wells. Or just don't pull such a drastic u turn.

                    On a side note what are you running for tires?

                      I'm with greg on checking your wheel well lining/mudgaurd thingymajigs and no need to crank the wheel to FULL lock and hang on to the wheel like you're in the gym when doing u-turns ;)

                        probably not but i dont know if such a tire (235/50/15 or 235/45/15) exists, and if they do exist there will be a very small selection

                          no, 205/55-15 is a normal E30 size.

                            I ran the same size tire on mine for awhile, no problems here. Now I run 225s and still havent rubbed once. Is your car lowered?

                              Basic fact, something is bent and/or not the shape it is supposed to be. Have your front end inspected.
