Quick fix for wheel scrubbing

[Corey95]

I just bought evo 8 17" enkei wheels today, took it for a quick run to only find they're scrubbing the guards any way to fix this without having to spend too much money

thats exactly the same wheels I run with no problems at all... Take the guard liners out

Could be a different offset though couldnt they?

Where exactly are they scrubbing? On full lock or continuously or going over bumps?

[Corey95]

So far going over bumps that causes the scrubbing, could adjusting the coil overs also help give clearance and camber / wheel tuck
Just hardened the coil overs now : / haha

[dstocks]

Yep, that would probably help.If you arent prepared to do that, youll have to lose the guard liners like Sahin says

[Corey95]

Update
-Stockies are back on 2 are down to the bulbs....
-Removed front guard liners
-Coils hardened (somehow feels better than softened coils )
-Need to remove rear liners still.
-Wheel offset still seems wide on the back and front and can't roll front guards unless I go back to oem , not sure if spacers were run or what kind if they were, do your tyres line up slightly wider than the guards sahin?

[Sahin]

What tires profile are you running? Mine seriously do not scrub at all anywhere

[Corey95]

235/45 , found problem number 1, hubcentric spacers...

[Vectose]

That would be your problem right there. Tyres.

235/45 and a lowered car would cause the scrubbing.

[Sahin]

Yeah I run 215/45

[Corey95]

Will removing the spacers give more clearance to the guards, since i can't really roll the front being fiberglass

Hi guys. My ride is maybe up for sale. Thinking of upfrading to an S2000 / 350Z.

25mm billet hubcentric spacers

[Corey95]

plus removing the rear liners, should give enough clearance until I can slowly get the money to change the tyre widths

[Sahin]

Rear liners? Wut
And with the front guards being fibreglass you can just cut them you don't have to roll them but I haven't had to do that...

[Corey95]

Oops guard liners

[dstocks]

The rear does not have removable guard liners! Its part of the chassis and is metal

[silverGPX]

Haha yeah that would defs scrub everywhere on 235/45 with those enkeis. I can only get away with it as I'm running +20 offset. The spacers will be helping your cause, see if u can get bigger ones!

[silverGPX]

Also get a wheel alignment and raise it up a bit
