hey guys, need a little help. finally installed my luxury high tech tein springs, but the rear tires are rubbing. the shop recommended to shave off the fenders to prevent the rubbing. any advice or suggestions? How much should I pay to shave it off? btw, sizes of tires are 225/45X18. thnx in advance, my first post.

 

what is the offset of the rims? It will rub if it's too low

 

I had to shave mine but I have 245/45-17s. Your offset is probably wrong, but if you have to shave the fender all do is shave the plastic part of the bumper. I did mine with a dremel tool.

 

... after a while the tires will shave the wells down and they wont rub anymore

 

Have any pictures of the car with the drop?

 

thanks guys! i will post pictures as soon as i can. all in all, i'm happy with the look. i will probably just have them shave it off today.

 

its probably the other way around....the wells will shave down the tires and they wont rub anymore

 

Not the rear.

It'll slice your tires all up.

 

you definatly need to find out your offset. If it is lower than bout +43 you really won't be able to do much. keep us informed!

 

how do i find out my offset? that might actually be the case, because super autobaks shaved off the fenders and it still rubb on the way home. pictures are coming soon.

 

Did you go to the one in Stanton? Those guys don't know anything, haha. It's amazing... Some guy tried to sell me brakes that were just oversized rotors, explaining to me it will decrease stoppingdistance. When I told him it's actually caliper pot size that counts, he got all mad.

You can find your offset by dismounting your wheels and looking at the stamp on the back.

 

thanks niteqwill! yeah i actually ordered my tein springs from them ($175) so i figured that they could install it as well. but the rubbing is killing me, i can't even imagine if somebody sits in the back of my car. the offset size if 43.
