Tire advice for suspension...
I currently have Eibach Pro kit with Tokico Illuminas.
My wheels are Front: 18X8.5 et48 and Rear: 18X9.5 et43
My tires are Front: 235/40/18 and Rear: 265/35/18
Originally on my car I had some improper offset wheels that caused rubbing but since I've replaced with proper offsets I've had no issues....
UNTIL....
I installed the Eibachs and Tokicos.
Now my front tires rub the inside of the wheel wells (on the top) whenever I hit uneven pavement (usually slight uphill) at highway speed.
It is a slight rubbing but I would like to be rid of it.
I am currently considering 245/35/18's for the front and 285/30/18's for the rear.
Both of these tires measure out at 24.8" from top to bottom vs. 25.6" of current Fronts. The current rears are about 25.6" also.
Would just like to see if anyone else out there with this suspension setup has rubbing issues and also what tires/sizes you are running
When you list your sizes please list whether or not you have any rubbing issues.
Thanks for the help!
