Default 17x9 offset 63

hey guys, im running a 17x9 wheel up front with offset 63 and 255/40/17 havent lowered it yet, but everytime i do a full lock it rubs, i took the wheel off and i see that its rubbing the top of the fender liner a little bit, anybody experience this? and im planning to lower it on amuse dampers, will it get any worse? and also is there a fix on this? thanks guys

Roll your fender...? Probably just minor rolling.

I would assume he is rubbing the inner fender liner, not the part near the fender lip. You after alignment and a little more negative camber you shouldn't rub.

thanks for the quick reply guys, yes its rubbing on the top of the inside a little bit, since im not lowered right now, i plan to run some negative camber up front hopefully that will solve the problem, was thinking offset 63 was a little too far in on the front? thot i might need spacers...

yes the offset is too high for the front! More camber will will make it worse!

The offset would be great on the rear. You could always run a 245/40R17 on the front and that should solve the rubbing issue.

o, so i suppose a 245 would be sufficient to clear the top part where its rubbing? and what about spacers? would that help out or are spacers no good...i was thinking 5mm spacers because tires are still in decent condition

also, is it possible to take out the inner top part of the fender liner?

*edit *

took off wheel again, its rubbing alright, slightly touching the fender as well, the negative camber idea, would that work? since the rubbing part is right where the dip is...
