I am having some issues trying to get my front wheels spaced out a little. I currently running on 19x8.5 225/35 dunlops in the front. Im trying to get it out a little more to match the back but having some issue sright where the bumper meets the fender. The fenders are already rolled & these pictures are with a 20mm spacer up front. I rub this same spot now without the spacers while turning and hitting bumps sometimes.

My question is all you guys who have a pretty flush wheel setup up front, what are you doing to fix this fitment issue in that area?

Im thinking i could possibly go to a 215/35 and maybe a 15mm spacer instead of the 20mm. the wheel sits perfect with this setup its just that certain spot!

In the first two pics.. do you have the wheels turned to show us where it rubs? or are the wheels straight

civicgeek133

the wheels are straight in the picture. Actually if you look at the first picture where the tread meets the side wall on the tire its self you can see a little arrow. Thats about right where its rubbed.

Ummm obviously that's not drive able lol

Y u running such a large spacer? What is the offset of the front rims?

I think even with a 215 you will still rub like mad... Maybe try the 15mm spacer and a 215 tire

you're cutting it close. no pun intended.

wait, yeah i intended that pun afterall.

They are just some spacers i had laying around and they actually get the front wheels to fit nice besides in the area.

My main question is what is everybody doing to run a aggresive stance up front?

It looks so good! Just don't drive it. More pics!

Stanching the front with a 8.5" rim and narrower is hard because you don't get a good stretch on the tire to make it fit and the rim poke..... Reason mine works is because I have a 9.5" front rim with a 225/35 tire so my stretch is a lot more noticeable that your set up and my sidewalks fall inside my fender better that what you got going on. Even if u run a 215/35 u probably will still rub.... Now if u put a 9.5" up front and tire no way

Offset????

Silver_Surfer

The first two pictures make it seems like you have way too much poke at the front. No way that won't rub. What's the offset on the wheels? Get rid of the spacers or get some negative camber.

civicgeek133

The offset on the front is 28 or 30 I honestly cannot remember. I would try my 15mm spacers but I know i will still have a simliar problem. It rubs in that area without spacers on there. I may try to trim some of the fender where it rubs now.

Try raising the car a bit mannn!

And holy crap, with the 20mm spacer you're at what? +8 offset? The car won't look horrible if you raise it half an inch. Don't judge me by my wheel setup though, I intended it to look that ugly You don't need your fenders to sit on the tires to look flush man, a little gap will be fine.

Definitely cut that fender-bumper tab if you haven't done so yet. World of difference. I pretty much grinded the entire front inside of my fenders to cardboard thickness lol

Rub? it looks liek its rubbing just sitting there!

civicgeek133

I will probably raise the car up some regardless if i put a spacer on there or not. I was just curious as to what kind of mods you guys did to that certain section. Ill probably trim the fenders up this weekend though!

Make sure you trim as far in as possible! It might help to remove the fender liner to take a look at what you're trimming. I didn't take a good look and had to re-trim that tab 3 times because I didn't get all of it the first two times good luck!
