Default Rubbing front 255/35/19 on +22 9.5 LE37s

Everytime I enter a slanted driveway I rub with a 255/35/19 +22 9.5inch LE37... the fronts are already rolled, so nothing I can do about this.. what do you guys do with this setup? I know some people are running 255/35/19 on a +12 TE37 so any input would help. thanks

There's 1 screw that's right in the middle of your fender liner, that's where mines kept rubbing at I took it off and now I no longer rub. There are other screws holding the fender lining up as well so it wasn't that big of a deal to take that 1 screw out.

Is your car lowered? I have the same setup on the front (LE37 255/35 +22) and have never had an issue with the fronts, only the rears before rolling them.

-1.9 fronts and yes i'm lowered.. when the tire is turned in either direction I only have millimeters of clearance; when I go up an incline the tire touches the fender

no wonder, your dropped over an 1" and your camber isnt that low. Just adjust to like-2.5 and take that bolt out from under the fender wall.

Dang +22 rubs w/ 255? I didn't know you needed that much camber to run +12...

For you guys that removed that screw, is your fender making any noises when driving on the freeway or anything?

No noises, the fender lining is still on there quite tight cause there are 1 screw in front of it and in the back of it.

Did it solve the problem james?
