Angry Tire rub

rims: 18 x 7.5 40 offset
tire: 25/40/18

ive already cut out my fender above the notch and put in a set of spacers from autozone. they only rub when i take a sharp turn pretty quick and when i hit a deep bump....particulalrly when i have backseat passengers....is there anything i can do to illeviate this problem..

ps...i did a close inspection to c exactly what is hitting since i dont have inside fenders n e more and i believe it may be the corners of the tab....anyone have n e experience with this or solutions?

I run 18x9 37 offset with 225/40/18. I rolled my fenders, and trimmed off the edge of the rear bumper, the corners nearest to the tire. Eliminated all rubbing issues I had.

i cut the whole tab off and used a sheetmetal screw 2 inches further back. this way its not there.. Id bet the noise is coming from the rear bumper almost entirely. Thats where mine was and i have right around the same setup offset and size wise.


The rear bumper bolts onto the fender in the wheel well with a bolt. take that shit out. cut the bumper off there, and just use a screw. Id take a picture but im mega busy.. i think he has it cut. someone could show you with this pic...

that sounds relatively easy to do....so do u think this will stop my rubbing issues even with backseat passengers?

my car is dumped dude. I cant even go over speedbumps(however alot is cause the sideskirt is like 8 inches lower than stock). but even dumped i can ride 4 niggas in the back screamin no limit solider and still not rub.

I think that yes, this should solve yo issues.. if not then we will try the next option once youve done the trimming..
