Rubbing

Post by Y3CHR » Sun Feb 05, 2017 8:01 pm

Hi everyone,

My car is lowered on H&R springs -40mm all round, running 10.5x21's with 20mm spacer. Experience a rub only every so often, im wondering if a combo of taking out the large mushroom headed screw in the wheel well liner and dropping to a 15mm spacer will cure this?

Any one expereinced this

I get rubbing with 40mm springs and standard wheels with no spacers.

Think i will give the screw a bash, but yeah think it has done the same. Not a nice sound when it does clip in a car park etc lol
