Hey guys, brand new to the forum, obviously, gotta quick question. I bought my car 2 days ago, absolutely love it, It came with eibach lowering springs and 18" momo core v-10s. Now I have a tad bit of tire rub as is, kinda bummed about it cause i didnt hear it at all on the test drive, prolly cause I was talking the entire time like an idiot. Anyway, before I even got the car I was thinking of getting this Image because I dont care for the front fascia and grille (OH GOD how i dislike the grille) as is, and I'm hoping to lose the tire rub with this addition as well. Now am I just being stupid (because remember I am new to this) or will it actually help solve my problem. Any advice with this would be greatly appreciated :)

nope it wont, it will make it look great :dblthumb: to fix that your going to want to roll your fenders, itll cost you about $40-$60 at most shops or you can rent the roller and do it yourself

Ok.... that's really weird, you shouldn't be rubbing at all with eibachs, or any springs. when i first lowered my car, before i started removing rings i barely rubbed if at all. and i was a finger gap above the tire with 18" rims. Unless your wheels are poking out the side you shouldn't be rubbing. post up a picture of your set up. and I know everyone loves the stillen front bumper so you can't go wrong there, but if definitely won't fix the problem.

I am much less than a fingergap from my tire to the to the fender. I dont know maybe im just freaking out a little bit and its all in my head? or the dealer mislisted 18" for 19" rims? but I will try and get pics up thanks for the help

what size are your tires?
I'm on 245/45/18's & eibachs & I'm not rubbing but my big a** tires did melt away part of the front splash guards in the front wheels

my guess is either large tires or ur offsets gonna be ur problem
