what are you rubbing on

TheSquidd · 11-14-2007, 07:44 PM

Step 1. Clean your wheel wells.
Step 2. Lower your car.
Step 3. Drive around, hard driving, do a donut or something, rub those tires.
Step 4. Jack up the front and see where the rubbing is occuring.
Step 5. Grab a BFH (Big Fucking Hammer) and start pounding.
Step 6. Repeat, clean, drive, rub, hammer. Until rubbing stops happening.

If you're rubbing the fender on hard turns, GOOD. That means you're flush.

If you're rubbing wheel wells, just hammer away until it stops. Keep an eye on your seams make sure you don't crack anything and you should be good.

ahhh? why would you want to do that?! those rear fenders look fucking awesome! spend the money that you would have spent on overfenders to fill the dent and get front wide fenders.

fuck my car is so high it doesnt rub at all but im going to be dropping it this week low reall low so i knw its gonna rub and i dont wanna fuck up my fenders sooo yeah

TheSquidd · 11-14-2007, 08:39 PM

If you're really flush you won't fuck up your fenders. You'll rub them , but they won't get messed up. Do not fear the rubbing. It is your only ally.

Standard logic, take off your wheels, hammer in all the little tabs (use a heatgun if you're into that kind of thing.)

Hooorahh! · 11-14-2007, 08:43 PM

will do ill try that tomorrow after work

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-14-2007, 08:46 PM

Yep, I did it on my car, protip use a rubber hammer and if you're really anal, repaint the wells when you're done.

I repainted mine, and I'm still rubbing, I need to hammer AGAIN.

Touge_Monster · 11-14-2007, 11:17 PM

Mine rub at full lock on the front of the wheel well. Any I deas on how to stop that with stiffing the suspension?

OptionZero · 11-14-2007, 11:28 PM

you dont solve it by stiffening the suspension
you solve it with a big hammer and/or fender roller

which is what people said just above

kevtrinh · 11-14-2007, 11:48 PM

oh and relocate your wiring harness on driver side!!!!!

AND THE HOOD RELEASE CABLE!

I relocated both (driver and pass.) Might as well.

Anywhere you see paint showing from rubbing, hit that shit with a hammer, as long as you're not breaking seams or the metal, smash away.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 11-15-2007, 01:22 AM

Only place I rub is the driver's side wheel well at full lock while turning right.

It's all nice and shiny under there.

Already relocated the harness after chewing through 3 cables.

Haha.

TheSquidd · 11-15-2007, 01:44 AM

I remember it was raining one day, and my wipers didn't work.

I was like. FUCK.

So I kept messing with the stalk, eventually I just left it on in the hopes it would work occasionally.... thaaat's when my fender caught on fire.

Relocate your harnesses. Both of them.

GabeS14 · 11-15-2007, 02:17 AM

has anyone fit a something like this??? 18x11J-19 and 18x12-31

SSR Vienna's
I know its rediculously low offset, so dont think itll work, but if anyone has done it or seen, please let me know how wide fender necessary, i just got wide rear fender(30mm) but if necessary will mold in an over fender over that, would that work?(or look stupid)
I am about ready to get new wheels, and these are sexy as hell

GabeS14 · 11-15-2007, 04:04 PM

Just curious if any one has ever used over fenders, on top of the already modified wide rear fender?( any pics would help too)

JesusFreakDrifter · 11-15-2007, 04:18 PM

i've seen over flares on over fenders on 16x10 +offset diamond racing wheels but not sure what you are looking for specifically

GabeS14 · 11-15-2007, 04:24 PM

I want to fit these wheels, and think i might need to go overfender over the wide fender, just curious is if it wil look stupid, or if done right can look cool, do you have pics of the over fenders?
