Rubbing issues

soccerchamp16 · May 9, 2013

Tons of threads about rubbing but none answered mine,

Ive been having rubbing issues for quite some time now..
My front tires is rubbing against the inside of my wheel well against the firewall. So i'm thinking about taking an angle grinder to the firewall.. Good idea? Bad? Anyone know how thick it is?

Do you have any pic of where it's rubbing?

Not at the moment, i can post one tomorrow morning if need be.
Best I can explain it as the tire itself is rubbing on the inside of the inner wheel well against the firewall. (I think "firewall" is the correct term)

I'm not sure what you mean.

You're talking about this, right?
This is eeeman's accord but mine looks the same too :lawl:

I also scrub a bit to the right of the suspension.

I haven't looked into how to reduce the scrubbing in that area..

Shlt that's what you were talkin about? Don't even worry about that. That just means your offset is too far negative or rims are too wide. Being low you don't have much room back in there.

Thats exactly it. I'm literally walking to my garage to fix it now

Normally i'm not a perfectionist but this REALLY bothers me for some reason.

Grinded it down, now I'm no longer rubbing on it. Unfortunately I'm still rubbing when I turn my tire rubs against my fender :lawl:
