got new tires and now I rub like a biatch!

I just put on toyou proxes 4's and man do I rub like a mofo now. They must be slightly taller then my old paradas.

Also got my alignment done and i'm in factory specs on the right side and off about .3-.4 degrees on the left. nothing to bad.


so far I like the tires alot, nice and grippy but since I rub I haven't been able to really get on them. I'm gonna cut out some fender liner and hope that helps and that i'm not rubbing on the fender.

Try take out the fender liners. I had to raise my due to it hitting the fender. This is a common problem with your camber all the way out. You can always take out your camber kit.

I don't have a camber kit, I bent my control arms ghetto 1970 style


i'm gonna trim the fender liner, i want to keep some of it in to prevent water from getting int he door panel and to also keep my CAI covered. I road around w/o fender liners for years and the CAI use to get filthy quick.

Ah well the bent control arms works also. Some trimming should take care of it.
