so I'm running Enkei 92 series. 15x7 offset +7 and 205-50/15 tires. They rub in the front. Does anyone elses? If you've had rubbing in the front what have you done to fix it? I was going to roll the fenders, but my question is can I remove the mud gaurds and cause no damage? It look like if I remove them that would cause a lot of air to flow throught the tire well. Anyone taken them out and not had an issue? If so did it change stability at hhigher speeds?

 

I had 205-50/15 tires on the front of mine, using Eibach springs, and finally fixed tire rub by going down to 195-50s on the front. I haven't noticed any rub, since doing so.

 

yea I've got eibach's too, and I don't really want to go to 195's. but that seem's to be the most acceptable answer. My goal is to get over 1 lateral G on street tires... > I'm currently running kumho ecsta 711's.

 

Mud Guards... as in tire skirts...? the black plastic stuff inside the wheel well. Removing it would trow water everywhere when it rained. It's late... if thats not what u mean. hehe

 

yea that's the stuff I was talking about.

 

what do you mean everywhere. Everywhere inside the tire well?

 

Yea without them water, pebbles, anything that sticks to your tires will get shot right up into ur engine compartment. Ummm wait, sorry, I could be wrong... I actually forget if that directly covers access to the engine compartment like say a camaro would... and my car is not here to look.

 

i said fawkit and ripped it all out. then i beat the hell out of my fenders with a hammer. ope they won't rubb anymore... lol
