question about rubbing

[sepulveda87]

i just got my rims not to long ago. 215/45/17 and when i go over bumps my left rear tire rubs on the fender and i know its a bad shock but i was thinking of lowering it. but if i do lower it, will it continue to rub on the fender if i am going to lower it?

Also, will i need to camber the wheel in a bit? thank you for yall input

You'll have to get a new shock first. Plus, alot of guys say that you will need to buy an upgraded shock like AGX's or such, but I haven't had any problems using GR2's. I don't see the need for a camber kit in the rear but I guess that all really depends on how low you're going to drop it. You definitely want to roll your fenders too.

The lower you get , the faster your car eats tires without correction kit.

if its the rear fender lip, then bend it inwards and up, be careful to heat up the paint first otherwise it will crack the paint, then no matter what ur rear suspension setup is, it shouldnt rub

I'm also running 215/45/17 tires, you'll just need to roll the rear fender lip. If you plan on lowering your car, you'll definately rub every time you hit a bump. Also depending on the drop, you may/may not need a camber kit.
