Rubbing!!
 

Hello everyone,

I’m lowered on swift springs with ESR wheels and my front wheel are rubbing even after rolling the front fender. I had to run 20mm spacer in the front for the wheel to fit. The tires are stock spec 245/40R19. I was thinking of going to 255/35R19 or 235/35R19 to possibly stop the rubbing. It only rubs when I go over steep bumps or cracks. Also rub when I’m Corning slightly hard. Anyone wants to chime in if this solution will help?

Stretched tires are not the correct answer. Try proper fitting wheels and/or adjustable suspension bits like SPL.

You are asking for a solution without providing sufficient information
Give your current wheel specs and a picture so we can see the issue

Wheel fitment is affected by:

Ride height
Wheel width/offset
Tire size
Alignment

Rubbing is addressed by any of these things depending on your specific situation
I also assume you did not get adjustable front arms so you have no camber or caster adjustment

Using a massive spacer to clear brakes is suboptimal. It means you bought terrible knockoffs, which is what ESR wheels are

I suggest throwing your wheels away, reading up on fitment, and buying the right wheels


For reference, I am running 20x11 +15 in front with a 275 tire. The Z can handle AGGRESSIVE fitment...when some right.

I say just use magic dust to change offset and or width of the front wheels, voila!!!!

I think that using magic dust is what got him into trouble in the first place.

Do you know what it is rubbing on?

my guess is his ESR's were 19x9.5 +22, but because they are knockoffs, there were brake clearance issues leading to his 20mm spacer, which makes his fronts 19x9.5 +2

no way to run that without camber, which is not adjustable on his setup

it's hitting the bumper tab and top of the fender, i suspect

Lol, that is too much magic dust for a single person.

But not quite enough for a married person. :)
