Default New Rims Grinding

Hey people. i just put on a new set of Volk GT-30s 19inchers on my Z. offsets are +17, +18. now every time i turn and accelerate or ride lightly bumpy roads i hear the rear tires rubbing. i have an 03 with 80000 miles so i was wondering if you think the suspension or springs are out, or should i adjust the toe of the rears or just suck it up lol. anyone riding with 275 35 19s have this problem?

thanks

The tires rubbing is no big deal. What's important is that it looks cool.

What suspension are you using? Is your Z lower than factory height? If so, how much? What are your camber specs? Is it rubbing at all 4 corners?

All of these things play a direct factor in the issue you are experiencing, while others may not have experienced issues, you may based on that criteria, even with the same car and same wheels (with the same offset).

Never the less, those are pretty aggressive offsets.

+1 on all points. More Information is needed in pin pointing your issue. Thats doesnt seem like an extreme offset.

D'OH!

Thanks.

And based on the local guy I mentioned, it seems like you can run the 275/35/19 on +18 offset without rubbing in the rear, without rolling fenders. Totally depends on your camber specs then.

Not all 275s fit the same, so what tires do you have?

Or, just roll your fenders.

I also wonder if car is lowered about 1.5 inches, little or factory spec camber and rolled fender will still rub with those offsets and tires..

What is your camber and how low do you sit? I want to run +17, +18 but think I may have to run stretch tires, which i personally dont like too much and i also want to stay close to factory camber specs. I dont think thats achivable even with rolled fenders but i am not sure. May be some wheel-tire gurus here can clarify for me.
