tires hitting coils?

[crsilvia13]

so i was hearing this odd rubbing sound coming from inside the tire and so i remover the wheel... after that i noticed that my tire in the front right wheel well had been hitting my coils i dont know what happened to make it do that but what is there that i would be able to adjust?

Lol, what happened is your tire is rubbing against the coilover. If you're running a bunch of camber, dial it back a little.

Otherwise, get some spacers from your local autoparts store and add as needed. No biggie.

spacers...end of story.

WUT??

Camber has nothing to do with the tire rubbing.... The coilover and the hub to which the wheel is attached are all on the same pivot point which would be the ball joint.

Crappy offsets or ballooned tires are the culprit.

Spacers indeed......

spacers fixed my problem, they will fix yours too!!!! also make your car look better

i got 1.5 inch spacers in the front and 2 inches in the back. friggen massive and probably overkill but eh, they only cost me a chuki front bumper

Some coilovers have bigger bolt holes so you can dial in more camber at the bottom mount w/o adjusting the top mount.

everywhere.

Phase2motortrend. FRSports. 240sxmotoring. Enjuku Racing. Even Ebay.

By the time your done you will realize that you should have just bought properly offset wheels. Sell it all and start over before you end up disappointed.

Also you might want to figure out why only your right front tire is rubbing, but your left front is not. Could be be you have a bent suspension component.
