I scrape on everything

BruhBrahBrad · Feb 3, 2009

It sucks..... my car is lowered with sportline springs, and I rub everywhere. My back tires rub when i hit a dip or come over a hill, my fronts rub on the inside, my BRAND NEW chinspoiler hits on dips. urghh im just lettin of fumes man. I know my problem with the rims and tires rubbing is because of the 05+ style rims and Improper size tires. So my fix should be coming for that soon.

that sukcs dude, i hated when i had my stalker front bumper, it sits wayyy lower than the stock GT/Cobra bumper..
it hit a lot...

and i cant go over speed bumps or the exhaust hits.
just gotta get familiar with the places you go
so you know when u can and can't drive

BruhBrahBrad · Feb 3, 2009

Man what really sucks is the place I got the most dips is in my neighborhood, everywhere else is fine lol

I had a stalker bumper on my 95 GT but was lucky and didnt rub anything w/ it.

i know what its like... both rear tires rub on every dip, and cornering at anything sharper than turning the wheel a quarter turn, and the exhaust hits everything that is taller than a pebble.

You gotta rub to be sexy :headbang:

Seriously though, I had sportlines with no iso's up front...and I mean, it was low and would scrape on big inclines...but it wasnt that bad...just gotta realize your low and dont go up mountains and shit

I rolled my fenders to fix the rear rubbing problem.

I have all the roads memorized in my town. I know what plazas I can and can't get in and out of.

What size tires and wheels are you running? a set of 18's would help =)

justinschmidt1 · Feb 3, 2009

No, running the proper size tire would help.

His tire height should be about 26 inch high whether he is on 15s or 19s.

Try running a size taller though.....our tires are like 25.7 inch tall.

Im gonna run 26.1 in the rear, 25.7 in the front.

eliyarbrough · Feb 3, 2009

I'm not sure how to stop the tires from rubbing, sorry! I just have the Pro-Kits on mine. My town sucks with the pot holes & crap! I have to take just about every street intersection @ an enormous angle! I just know on what side of the street to drive on, and stuff! Hope you get it figured out!

Im not sure what you mean, but I currently have 05+ rims on the car. They are a different offset backspace or whatever. So the tires sit in really far. I bought some spacers to bring em on out hopefully that will fix the rear.

Take it from the mini truckin crowd, scrapin is awesome... also another hint from the mini truckin crowd, put air bags on it man, you won't have to worry about those bumps and pot holes anymore.
