why take the time to find a link and copy/paste it if you can just type up an answer instead?

i searched! and pm'd owners just share your knowledge with me please! I appreciate it!

Thought this was a WOW forum. With all the flaming going on.:eekdance:

Wow that is cheesy isn't it. :icon35:

1] Are you the original owner?

2] Does the car have a stock suspension?

3] Has the car been "lowered"?

4] Has the front of the car/front suspension ever been damaged?

5] What size are the tires?

6] What is the wheel offset?

1. i just traded another member

2.the suspension is stock

3. it has not been lowered

4. I got into a little fender bender before...replaced front bumper

5. Thses are 19 inch luff M1 wheels
Front 245-40-19
Rear 285-35-19

6. i dont know the offset...=/

oh and thanks for helping me out!

why would u run a 40 profile in the front. thats pretty thick for a 19' rim

Did the former owner have this problem?

Was this wheel/tire combo on the car at the time of the little fender bender? If so, did you have the problem before the incident?

The TireRack recommends a 225/40-19 size front tire on a 19 x 8.5 wheel and a 245/40-19 size rear tire on a 19 x 10 wheel.

sweeet

Um no he didnt, and they were not on the car when i was in the fender bender! I didnt pick how thick the tires were...i just made a trade =/

ohh so what does it mean when mine are different?? btw the post above is reply to this also...thanks :D

i run 245/40 on my 19" TE37s, did fender roll though but can't even fit a figer in between the gap

Wrong size tire/wheel/wheel offset = rubbing

If I've ever had a tire/wheel question, I would always contact... http://www.tirerack.com/about/contact.jsp

Agree. If the tires rub - they rub.

The question is where do they rub and what is a possible solution. With time the tire should show a rub mark. Or you can paint the tires with white sportsmans paint. If the rub is on the inside of the tire, a simple 5mm spacer may be the solution. If the rub is on the outside of the tire, then it might be time for some different size tires.

If one tire rubs and the other is OK, them the solution becomes more complicated.

are you dropped?

i believe they rub on the inner fronts when i turn the wheel to the right!
