new 19's but new noise????

Hey just put 19 inch axis hagens on with toyo 235-35's and it seems like when ever I hit a hard bump my back is making a rubbing noise, not sure what it is. I have checked and cant find anywhwere that their may be rubbing, on the tire or fender. If anyone may know what its happening I'd appreciate the knowledge. I have no problems turning in the front, no hitting.
much appreciated....

might be the part of the rear bumper that is part of the wheel arch. most need to trim that section thinner and that does the trick. i believe you have a 45 offset on those wheels, 19x8 right? if you are unsure, apply some kind of coloring agent/chalk (or plain old masking tape) along the arch and go for a drive...you will see where the agent gets rubbed off.

3.2TLLUV that's exactly where it rubs, just trim that tab on the back fender!!! Never mind, just do what Stan said and you'll figure it out!!!

Word to the wise...when you go with a 19x8 rim you need to go with a 50mm offset. If you had gotten 19x7.5 you would have been better off if you wanted a 44mm offset. That's just my 2 cents. I don't like the idea of cutting into a $30,000 plus vehicle.

hey thanks for the 2 cents, but I'm not into cars as much as you guys, so tell me how do I know my offset, my wheel is the hagen 19x8, thats really all I know and I put a 235/35 tire on.
Thanks....

It's definately +45 offset but don't worry you'll be fine if you just cut the tab off the rear!!! JUST POST SUM PICS WHEN U GET A CHANCE I really want to C them, I'm sure they look like 20" just because of the way the spokes go!!!

Also what color did U get again?
