adi2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I ve just got these wheels and the size is: 11x18 Rear (295/30/18) 9.5x18 Front (265/35/18) These wheels were supposed to be a Toyota Supra fit and the tyre size was recommended by the manufacturer of the wheels. The rear rubs the fender lip a little but I am going to have the fender lip rolled so that should be fine. However the front wheels seem to be rubbing the plastic inner covers when going over a bump or medium fast cornering. Is there anything I can do about the fronts??? Any advice would be great, Cheers adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Oh Just to add, I ve ordered a set of HKS Hipermax 3 coilovers, would installing the coilovers stop the front wheels from rubbing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The coilovers may help with the fronts as the car will roll less and be stiffer. It'll still be close though as the car will no doubt be physically lower. You could always go down to 30 profile tyres on the front too. Oh, almost forgot to add, I like your wheels.

BlackWatch66 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hmmm... I think they probably rub because...... they're MASSIVE. I only have 265 on the rear dude! I hate to think what the cost of a 295/35/18 bridgestone is:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Arch rolling or flaring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Any one with some more suggestions please??? If they are rubbing slightly I'd go for 255's or even 245's at the front, I had similar issues with my Supra, I had to run 255's on 10" width wheels.

d-_-b Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Where about's does it rub? on the inside or the top part of the liner ? If it was the inside you could maybe get away with a slim spacer provided it didnt rub too much and dosn't cause the wheel to stick out form under the arch. If its the top / top inside of the arch, like others have said slimmer width tyres / tyres with a sidewall that is slightly sloped. Different brand tyres have different side wall profiles. The Falkens tend to have the sloping inward outer wall to them, so this could help you gain vital mm's of clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
