Front rubbing steering at full lock both direction
Hi all,
I recently ditched my rft for mpss. I moved from my oem set up of front 225/45/80 & rear 255/40/18 to F 235/40/19 & rear 265/35/19. No rubbing issue but notice at the front, when the steering is at full lock at either direction, there is some slight rubbing coming from inside of the wheel well. Anyone experienced this? any fix for it Thanks. |

Here is my set-up. FYI, I have spacers on there too. OEM = Bridgestone Potenza S-001 RFT FF 225/40/19 Diameter = 26.1", Revs / Mi. 798 RR 255/35/19 Diameter = 26", Revs / Mi. 801 ________________________________ +1 = Michelin Pilot Super Sport NON-RFT FF 235/40/19 Diameter = 26.4", Revs / Mi. 787 RR 265/35/19 Diameter = 26.3", Revs / Mi. 790 Not too concerned with the slight rubbing on the inner fender liner. |

Does the spacer use eliminate the rubbing? my concern is actually if my rubbing is coming from the inner side of the wheel against the suspension structure ..... |

Yeah if you look at the tire in relation to the fender liner there is very little room at full lock so any deviation from the stock tire sizes to something larger will cause rubbing. As mentioned, not a big deal though.

Thanks all for your comments.
As an update to all, I sent my car in to fix the H&R sway bars and post installation, a wheel alignment was required. The problem with slight rubbing at steering full lock (while it wasnt serious but annoying enough) at the fender line was eliminated. The wheel guy adjusted the chamber slightly towards more +ve (didnt have the exact number).. Now the car feels so much closer to how I want it to be |
