Rubbing Issues

CM370z · 11-01-2015, 02:10 PM

Hi all,

I just installed a set of ARK Gt-S springs on the Z and put on wider rims while keeping the stock Bridgestone tires. On the drive home, I noticed that the front wheel on the passenger side will rub against the fender if I go over slight bumps on the road, but not on the driver's side (and I'm the only one in the car). My fenders are slightly rolled too. I haven't gotten an alignment yet but do you think that that'll solve the rubbing problem? Or do I have to buy a new pair of tires for the front?

Currently running 245/40 on a 9.5in wide rim with +12 offset in the front.

u'll need to get new adjustable a-arms for the front to change camber. the factory ones are fixed. ET12 is pretty out there for front.

I'm trying to avoid any more negative camber

Where is it rubbing? Where the fender and bumper tab is at?
