It is unfair to say you will have to put up with the slight rubbing Simon
To achieve the stunning look you have now, i advised on the most aggressive wheel offset of the choices you had, tyre width and tyre profile and they look super cool on your zed as everyone who has seen them says .
I disagree with going for the 30mm offset and using spacers Spacers should be used as a last resort rather a substitute for proper fitting wheels and anyway 30 would have been too far in still. i have always maintained between 15-25 depending on the tyres is usually perfect but you can go for super aggresive if you are prepared to be flexible in making things fit
Going for smaller width will not give you the same matched sidewall height between front and rear and cost way more than the fix required
The rubing issues is only a few millimeteres in it as is evident with barely a mark on the tyres and there are two solutions to get rid of it. Roll the arches or get adjustable camber arms and dial more neg camber you will only need to go in by .25 or .5 of a degree to eliminate the rubbing and at the sametime improve rear end grip.
Rolled arches donot cause rusting unless you have rust in your arches already
However, I would prefer the adjustable arms solution as it also future proofs you in case lower the car on at a later date
Sorry if you thought that was criticism of you Bennett - it wasn't.
You spent a lot of time advising me on wheels/tyres etc. but I checked with nrenz123 before I pressed the buy button. He has the identical Rota Torque set up but with no rubbing. So it's his fault.
Does nrenz123 have a JDM to? If you both are on standard spring setup and his is UK its going to be softer then yours from factory...
It'll rub until there is no rubbing left to do so that'll be fine Can you not adjust the camber a bit? Hopefully it will be the correct adjustment too so you don't wear the inside of the tyres quicker... If you want to sell the wheels give me a shout
I think the guy that sold you the set should fix it for you free of charge
(no matter that you almost got him divorced earlier! )
She's looking good though
Bloody hell this is getting silly.
I didn't buy the rims/tyres from Bennett - he just advised me on the set up in completely good faith. Before I bought I asked lots of questions of others and the traders who sold the rims/tyres. Any subsequent issues are entirely my responsibility. I'm a big boy.
The rubbing is very slight and not as concerning as the above conversations seem to indicate. I'm going to a track day at Castle Combe on 28th and if it's a big issue, will sort after. If not, I'll live with it.
As this is my thread, can we all stop talking about rubbing (unless it involves Kirsten Dunst)
I like talking about rubbing
There is a easier way to resolve this
if only Captain would lose a few stone then this would never be a issue
