Wheels Rubbing

[shaneyb]

My wheels rub when turning, my starlet is lowered 40mm and is on 15s with 195/50s on. Would spacers sort this out? Any suggestions anyone?

[Curtis]

do you mean on full lock bud, where does it rub

[shaneyb]

Not even on full lock, i haven't checked where exactly its rubbing yet as I've only put these tires on lol.

[Curtis]

what offset (e.t) are your wheels, my misses has that setup but she hasnt had any probs with the front arches

[shaneyb]

I have no idea thats the problem lol.

[Curtis]

there should be a et number on the back of the wheel, e.g if it is et43 get a 3mm spacer because you want to get it as close to 40 as possible

I was just about to ask if there would a number on them. Going to check now :-).

[shaneyb]

They are et36.

spacers wouldn't sort that out bud im afraid. You will need offset between 40-43.

i thought starlets were et37/38 offset? the lower the offset the more they stick out, that offset you have should be fine. wat width are they?

[shaneyb]

Im not sure, will it say on the back of the wheel aswell?

I have this problem also, with 195/50's and SR Speedlines and lowered 40mm. I dont mind though as its only on full lock.

Me too, Team Dynamics 195/50/15s and lowered 40mm

[shaneyb]

Me too, Team Dynamics 195/50/15s and lowered 40mm

Hmm so im not the only one. Going to have a look and see what the tires are catching.

[Liam_D]

Its just the inner arches mate, the little plastic bits. Nothing to worry about at all.

[anup67]

roll out the arches....but if you say it the inside, then i dont know

[shelly_star]

I think it might be to do with your tyre size aswell, as SR standard tyre size is 195/45/15, i think my brother had a few problems with rubbing too when he swapped his low profile tyres for 195/50s and lowered by 40mm, plus the wrong offset might be a problem too.

[shaneyb]

Yeh I think its just the tyre size as it was on 195/45 before. Its a shame as I prefer 195/50 . The offset is apparently fine though. Might have a proper look and see if spacers can solve my problem. Thanks for all the help everyone :-).

You can either raise the car which i doubt you'll do, or get try get the inner arch rolled (if you know what i mean) :s if it's the right term :D

lol The car is never going to be raised! Looks like the next tyres are going to have to be low profile :-(.

[shelly_star]

Ouch, going to cost a bit more for low profile i have 195/50 on my glanza, used to rub on the passenger front, but i got that rolled out and it doesnt do it anymore

How much does it usually cost? I think the rear might rub aswell when people are in the back .

[shelly_star]

My cousin did it for me unfortunately but mine was only rubbing on one arch. Just tell everyone to take themselves poor you not sure why yours is rubbing so much ..... hmmm...
