    65 aspect ratio rubbing??

    I just switched tires from 205/60/14 to 195/65/14 and now I am rubbing in the front. It's rubbing the front part of the wheel well. Is my wheel well off or have any of you experienced this?

    what is it? 225/65/16?

    I'm afraid you could not be more vague.

        That doesn't make any sense. I have H&R Race on my eta with 195/65 r14 snows right now and they fit perfect.

          Do you have offset control arm bushings? That kicks the front tires forward. Or, you've got some serious suspension issues and/or a bent control arm/s.

            If the stock sized tire rubs you have an issue somewhere.

              more than likely bent control arm(s)

              but I couldn't say without looking.

              Let's start from step one, where does it rub?

                I just recently removed my steering rack for a rebuild and put it back in. I also changed my CA bushings, sway bar bushings and sway bar lnks. Nothing seems damged.

                Note: I have yet to get an alignment though. Could this be it?

                  Uhhhh.... Duh? Go get an alignment. They'll tell you what's bent.

                    LOL, well that was rude.

                    It's true though, get an alignment and you'll see what's wrong.
