Rubbing problem
I just bought konig rewinds 14x7 -9 offset as you all know. But now I got rubbing problem on my front wheels, I got 185/60/14 size tyres. So sometime when I brake a bit too hard I will feels and hear that the tyre touch the fender or actually touched the bolts that fit the plastic cover. If the bolts are take off then I am sure it will touch the fender. If someone here know how should I solve the problem?

INFO:
Tyres: 185/60/14
Rims: Konig Rewinds 14x7 -9 offset
Springs:: Intrax (I think its lowered 2 or 4 cm I am not sure)
Shock: Original OEM
Car used: Daily driver, not for track

Thanks in advance.

Some gentle massaging with a BFH?

Rubbing problem
i have the same problems with my 14x8 supra rims. the best way to fic this problem is to roll the fender. this is hard to explain. the inner part of the fender were it folds under get bent out and is then smoothed out to make it look better. here is some pictures http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic.php?t=331...ed+fenders


i hope this helps

@oli: is that what the nohachi mean, TAHN! (Thanks and HELL NO!) Tongue

@matto: yes I know what u mean. I will not roll my fender. I rather sell my rewinds than roll my fender Tongue LOL j/k

Anyway I removed 2 bolts that hold the plastic cover and drove the car today and its seems the tyres does not rubbed anymore Smile
Thumbs up!
