Paint the inside of your wheel wells with a bigass bright-colored sharpie or something, take it for a drive. Wherever the ink/paint rubbed off, bang it with a hammer. :)

Might sonud like a joke but that's actually what I did with my car, and after I was done I had no rubbing issues. Be careful though because you can make small dents appear on the outside, I was lucky enough to have someone experienced do this for me and my paint/fender suffered no visible damage on the outside.

That sounds like an idea. I will try that.

What is your offset?, those tires look really meaty dude. Maybe Tony is right but go to a small tire shop and get a couple of used tires in smaller sizing first, run them and then make a decision as to what will work for you.



Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

Its not rubbing that much, only under hard cornering... I have 195's on the front, what would be the problem if i use it on the rear... Ill just get more negative camber no? I want to square the car out, and have 195's in the rear as well, cuz the car is on the stock motor, and having a 205 on the rear will just slow it down...

you do realize that "205" determines how wide the tire is right??

what do you mean it will slow the car down?

^it adds weight LOL

[call me jack]

i don't mean to sound like a smart ass, but is there a reason no body has recommend fender flares yet?

[dnova89]

Adding that much negative camber to your rear wheels sounds like it will rapidly increase tire wear on the insides of your tires, and might actually make you have less grip in the corners, and a lot less on the straights.

Like i said a moment ago, i would just go with fender flares, and if your wheel wells simply are not big for that wheel set up, then i might be time to look at some major modification to your wheels wells.

Has noone said it? Get stiffer stuff dude. Those specs are totally doable, youre just not set up for it. Stiffen up the suspension, and have tony take another pass with the roller if need be.

Yeah but if he was actually trying to make his car perform better he wouldn't be stretching 195 or 205 tires on his wheels.
