Sooo My car now matches my Name...What parts of the fender liners can i cut to, fix my rubbing issue

Rub-ISH (Brandon) · 05-11-2007, 05:01 PM

So on Wednesday last week I had my Vogtland CO's installed and I love the ride quality and the handling, but the i have rubbing issues every where.

I have the drop set to like a finger and a half gap all around, but my 8.5 width rims are giving me some head aches. I really would like to stay on these rims but i dunno if its going to be possible without rubbing. The rear coils are up as high as they can be and with a passenger in back seat it rubs even on small bumps

Are there any solutions besides changing to 8inch width rims? Fender rolling/modification?

thanks guys

you can take those screws out, but otherwise, you gotta get it up, or in.

I really love the ride, but I am so anal about rubbing. I just think it brings the quality of the car down. Is an 8inch width rim the solution?

I've been considering getting 8.5 wide. I'm really curious to see if removing the screws fixes things for you.
Did you get them from tire rack?
