i just got some new rims off of tire rack.com, they r the 16 inch borbet type b, one of the only 2 rims they have for my 85 gsl se. so i got them and they seemed to fit great, until i drove on them and found out that the inside of the tire was rubbing on the strut tower, i got some wheel spacers to try and solve the problem, it seems to have ended the rubbing but today my tire hit my wheel well, so iwas wondering what u guys thought i should do, move down to a 15, or would rubbing still occur? return tires and rims and find some new ones, if so where did u get rims and tires that fit? tire rack offered me a full refund or to replace the damaged tires but said that they have no tires that will fit without rubbing....

 

roll the fenders piut on a wide body or fender flares

 

anybody else here "rolled the fenders"? That is probably what I'm going to have to do, as I am also going to be putting 16's on my gsl-se... I know you other guys have 16's on your cars, what do you do to make them not rub (and I don't have the money for a wide body kit, so that's out of the question)

 

put better suspension on your car, i have 15's and there is no way they would rub, i know i could fit 16's on cuz mine are 215/50's and thats a lot of side wall left.
if you getter tighter suspension it probably would happen, i have tokico blues with eibach springs all around and my car is nice and tight.

 

Just take to a body shop and have them roll the fenders for you. That should take care of the problem.

 

i had to roll my fenders, running 215/50 on my 15"s.

under braking the fenders would come down onto the tire...

my car is lower than stock, but not much stiffer
