problem fixed

 

Raise it up man. Looks like you're too low. How much are you dropped?
My fender sort of rubbing like that too but when i rolled the fenders it stopped. I don't think rolling your fenders will stop that.
Maybe the offsets on the wheels?..

 

What suspension are you running? Looks like your suspension has too much compression to support such a low drop + the offsets of your wheels.

 

I think that picture pretty much sums it up. You are too low to clear your fender while turning. Add in compression from agressive driving and you are going to rub. Also, don't rely on pretty pics from a magazine to gauge what other people get away with. I guarantee those other two cars are going to rub like a mofo if driven hard.

 

in those pictures the car is on flat ground. in your picture the car is going *up* a slight incline i'd bet. those cars would more than likely rub in the same instance.

my car will do this too, if i hit an inclined driveway with too much speed while turning into it. if i slow down to a crawl, the momentum of the car is reduced and i don't rub while turning.

 

Thicker bumpstops would help...although you don't want them to cut in to your suspension travel too much. You would also run the risk of hitting your bumpstops when cornering. This would only work if you had the right combination of travel and spring rates.

 

My guess is its a combination of wrong offset wheels (too low), low ride height, and no front negative camber?

 

With that much rubbing the offset on the wheel has to be way off. I mean that is not rubbing that is hitting.

 

caster+drop+compression is the answer..

change one of the above and you'llbe fine (changing compression would be going stiffer)

or just have wheels straight when going up hill. notice on down hill, same problem.

also remember when they extended fenders it lowered the clearance because they kept oem lines.



also your tires are VERY square on your wheel..

people like sophal and then my old cars.. we'd stretch the sidewall so that it would be less square.. rounded edge rubbed whereas square edge grabs.

my next set of wheels im prolly going to a 8.5/9 instead of 8 to get more slant on sidewall for this problem specifically..
