Tires Rubbing

[dtexan]

My tires are rubbing I have enkie dm5 42mm offset w/214-40-17 tires, I recently installed progress springs and put a large 12" subwoofer in the back could the weight of a sub prob. 50 pounds or more cause this I tried the rolling the fenders trick but thats not working out so well any ideas?

thanks

u could try 30 series tires. I rub as well and had to camber my back tires in considerably. It isn't hurting my tires being cambered in but it just doesn't look that good. I am hoping 30 series tires will give enough room to compensate.

im running 215/40/17 with a near 3" drop..no rubbing no probs what so ever

what is teh width of your rims, 7.5 or 8". it all depends on how wide your rims are

I have the rest of my 215/45's coming in a week or so. Right now there is a lot of gap with the 205/40's.

I don't think mine will rub with the larger tires eventhough i'm on progress too. It should be close.

are you rubbing on the inside or outside fender?

I have progress springs with 215/45/17's no rubbing, even with passengers...camber is at 1.2 negative in the rear

Hearing this relieves me.

Not much meat on those! might as well roll electrical tape around your rims.

lol, this is exactly the reason for upgrading from 40 series.

Well I just ended up rolling the inside fecer lips fixed my problem but jacked up the paint under the fender a little. oh well you cant see. I bought some stuff to sand it down and finish it

I also have Progress springs with 215/45s on a 17x7" wheel. its close in the back but absolutely no rubbing even with all the crap I haul around. Also, my camber isnt adjusted either. How far did the springs drop you? I was a suprised by the amount of the drop considering the quoted # from progress. Seems like all spring makers rate their drops conservitively.
