    Tire Rubbing

    Hey all you CB7 lovers out there I have a delimma and need your assistance. About 3 years ago I bought ASA 16" rims with 215/50R-16 tires for my CB7. 2 years ago I installed all new KYB GR-2 shocks and sturts. Recently, I bought new tires at 215/60-16. Ever since I've changed to the 16" rims the tires have been rubbing against the rear bumper when I roll hit a bump or espeailly when I have people in the back seat. Is there anything I can do to reduce or eliminate this problem without getting a better suspension.

    Sounds like you need to find smoother roads and smaller friends.

      haha. Just don't drive. Maybe get adjustable coilovers and set the rear up a little higher?
      So your gr2's have been doing good until now though? I'm about to order some so I like hearing about them lol

        No the GR-2 are great... I just need to stiffin up the suspension so the tires wont rub. Maybe some stabilizer bars might help?

            Stick with a 50 series tire with 16in wheels.

              I'd say stiffer suspension and/or smaller tires, I don't see how a stabilizer bar could help in this case.

                Do you have bump stops on the rear struts? If so, get a couple more, cut them in half and throw them in there, too.. that'll bump you up about 1/2" and might help cut down on the rubbing.

                    Yeah, I agree.. but for now, a bump stop cut in half, half on each strut, should provide some relief until he gets new tires

                      Tires are over sized.

                          Exactly.

                          Stabilizer bars won't do anything. Either raise the car, get smaller tires, or just deal with the rubbing until something gives (I don't recommend that)

                              I remember last summer when I ran 205/55/16. It's a 'recommended' larger tire size by Discount Tire, but man it looked huge... I can't even imagine a 215/60/16 on my car
