Well i just got my wheels, And i put them on they are rubbing when turning and on bumps. I drove about 1-2 miles and you could see where they were rubbing so i took them off. Now what im wondering is did i waste my money, Will i have to raise it or can I roll or cut away the fender to fix this problem and is it worth it ? any input will help!

odds are you got the wrong offset. you need atleast a +45 +47 to +50 being ideal

how can i check this? I got them off this sites blackmarket.

about the only thing i can think of thats the easiest is to pull off the wheel and look on the back side somewhere in the casting to see if it says the offset there. where does it rub on the front? the rear may just be the plastic bumper tabs

@cUr@-TL

well he's lowered 3" so he would prolly rub even if the offset was around 50...


you're prolly gonna have to roll the fenders.

good catch!

if your rear is rubbing out the outside of the tires, rolling your fenders may fix it, it fixed mine. your offset could also be off or the tire size might be too big. i dont recommend any more than a 45 height on the tires if your ride is dropped. about the front, if the tires are rubbing when you turn its a hard problem to fix. if you have money i would buy new wheels with correct size tires. if you cant afford that i would pull out the wheel and see if you can tell where the tire rubs. if it rubs at different areas of the wheel well you can try to shave it cut out that area. you will get your engine dirty but it solves the problems. the front of our cars dont really have a fender to roll. the rears have a slight tab you can bend back. but the front wheel wells attach straight to fender so theres not much you can move back. when rolling the fenders do it slowly so you wont crack your paint.

How much does it cost to have your back fenders rolled?

do it yourself... take a baseball bat... stick it between the tire and the fender, and bend downwards... the bat shoudl become perpendicular to the ground and should bend the fender in... DONT KNOW HOW THIS is gona work on this car but i did it on my last car and it workd fine... i duno about acura's...
