leon Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 this is probably really stupid! i'm not the most technical when it comes to the inner workings of a supra. on the rear passenger side of my car the wheel sometimes comes up and hits the arch when going over bumps. i have recently had my wheels upsized to 18's but the overall size is pretty much the same. Non of the other wheels have this problem. Is this a sign that my suspension is worn? are my shocks on the way out? Either way is it worth putting some better dampers n stuff on it? Is it better than stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Sounds like you need your arches rolling, a specialist job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Even if the rolling diameter is the same, you can easily have rubbing issues if the offset, wheel width or tyre width is changed. Even without those, it's still possible as the cross sectional area of an 18 over a stock 17 is quick often 'squarer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Killer Heels Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 If its only one side i would certainly be inspecting the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
