Exclamation New Rims, New Problem

Alright well I have new 17x7 Ron jons and for some weird reason, on a big bump or a bumpy road or if I have alot of ppl in the car ... the tire rubs against the wheel well? Well it rubs against the body of the car... and the weird thing is that theres only one side that does it... one tire... the back driver side tire rubs ... i dont know why,,, i think its the suspenion? i dont know... but its only that tire that rubs... all the other ones are perfect... HELP!!!

Sounds like a blown shock. Ronjons don't rub

Are you lowered?

ronjon's wheels would never rub.. if they were too big for the car, he would have never given them to you... im sure its a blown shock like nsxnext said

Yeah, even with different tires you shouldn't rub. i know its crazy, but check the n\offset of the wheel. the only thing I can say is that a 42mm offset got mixed up in there instead of a 50mm offset, since we doi carry a wheel like that for the RSX. Check it out and if thats the case, i'll take care of it. you should really call in if you have a problem.

Here is a Tl with the same setup, and he has a real low suspension and doesn't rub:

when i went to get a quote for my blown one, it was liek 220 a piece. I'd just buy 4 aftermarket ones for cheaper.

oh, so you had no rubbing before, because it's been a while since you've had them. Double check to see if they are really 50mm offset. Also, what's the tire size on the old car and the new one?
