My new tyres(255/60R15) were installed couple a weeks ago, however i have a slight problem with front right hand side.
The tire rub on the front hand side fender when i am turning the vehicle either to the left or to the right(Above is a picture of the front handside tyre, it oulines the areas that affected by the tyre.
The left hand side is OK.
It only happens when i am turning the vehicle, in a straight line or speed humps all seems to be good.
Please note that i had 245 before and it was all good however i do like the looks of the 255, it gives an agressive look to the vette.
One of the members on this forum mentioned to me that i have to adjust the stoper on the left handside and i have been advised that any wheel alignement place can do the job. Tried few people and some of them were bit puzzled.
Anyway I am sure there is a way around it...may b kind of geometry? Can someone recommend what to do or what would be the detailed solution to the problem
thanks Heaps ;42

Hi all
Do you mean tyres rubbing on chassis rail or inner guards
If it is rubbing on chassis rail then yes it is common to have to weld up the lock stops just enough for the tyres to clear the chassis rail by 4 or 5 mm
If the tyres are rubbing on the inner guards, then that is caused by one of two things
1/ Non factory wheel fitted
2/ Inner guards fitted incorrectly
The inner guard rubbing problem can be easily rectified by cutting the inner guard away from the outer guard carefully and reattaching it back further to enable clearance of the wheel.;42
is that the solution Chromie?
