Default 275/30-19 on front

Hello all,

I got 275/30-19 tires mounted on 19x9 +18 wheels on the front and it is rubbing when cornering heavy. I am pretty sure I have seen members with this setup before and I was wondering if anybody can chip in some advice about how they made those fit. I got the setup done 2 days ago and I am not yet sure if I'm rubbing on the suspenssion or the fender but my preliminary analysis seem to suggest the fender. My car is on Nismo S-Tune suspenssion.

My rears are 295/30-19 on 19x10 +22. Feel free to let me know if there were any issues with these too.

Thanks in advance.

If my math is not wrong my new setup vs my old setup should have 3 mm less clearance on the suspenssion side and 27mm less clearance on the fender side of the wheel. From these numbers I would be tempted to say I'm rubing on the fender but I will investigate and be 100% sure a little later. Thank you.

Your probably hitting the screw that holds the fender liner in place. Take the screw out , cut it down slightly 1/8 inch and renistall it. The fold it in for more clearance. You can also add an extra 0.1 of camber to help.

If you are rubbing the fender little you can do. You can not move the tire away from the fender.

Ok looks like I got rubbing on the fender side on both front and rear. I wonder if a fender roll would take care of my rubbing issues at the rear. I am still not sure how to handle the fronts rubbing. Any suggestion are welcome.

Nismo s-tune is said to have a 1" drop compaired to stock. On the fender liner screws you should just take them out. Then remove the square piece of plastic they screw into, shove the liner behind the metal tab and carefull fold the tab onto the liner. If that doesnt help add camber.
