have you guys experienced that the front tire (wheel) hits the coil while doing hard cornering? it also occurs while going thru slight slope at high speed.
front tire size I have is 215/45/17

thanks

offset of the wheels?

r33

+30 w/3mm spacer

When it was sitting on stock rims/tires I noticed that there wasnt too much of clearance from tire to one of the coil. the coil is like above the tire

i have no problems beside the fact that it drops the car too much =P

^ it only happens when i do U-turn.
I just verified it because I found rubber (tire) mark on that portion of coil that sits closet to the tire.

r33

any help please?

please refer to the below thread for details

+30 w/ a spacer, and your still rubbing on only 215s? that doesn't sound right to me.

r33

I know, the car drives fine w/out any problem the rubbing just occurs during U-turn (yes, when i floor it a little which gets more weight transfer to one corner all of a sudden).
I check everything, the tire/wheel isnt touching any of the suspension components

It's only that coil (which only has around 9mm clearance above the tire) rubs the tire.

probably I got a "lemon" set of tanabe springs... :

Yea i do and my size is 215-45-17's in the front. My offset is +42 or is it +40(I dont remeber)though.

r33

did you get around to fix it?

are you running 17x8 in the front as well?

see my thread in suspension forum with pic

nah, doesnt effect the driving part of it, but I will probly end up getting some front spacer to fix it. Im running 17x7's. My springs are set on 2 in the front so theyre pretty stiff. I also have NO camber in the front, so i think its just the way its gonna be.

r33

so i guess even i use stock 16x7 wheel w/205 tire it's going to be the same.

jgrts20

yea I think thats just the design and the amount of drop it is. It will probly be alittle better with 16x7 but they are a smaller rim.
