slight rub at specific angle?

banky · 02-20-2012, 04:32 PM

hey guys, just put on my wheels/tires and im rubbing when the steering wheel is turned at a specific angle, turning to the right. it's not fully turned but maybe half way? its like a sweet spot, and i cant figure out what it is.

F: 19x85ET35 / 235/35/19
R: 19x95ET33 / 265/30/19

Vortex Wheels w/ DW Tires

suspension is stock e92 sport suspension. my body shop just installed msport front and maybe they did something wrong with the liner? has anyone else experienced this? im scared because im supposed to put on SP Perches this week but i dont want the rubbing to worsen...

thanks for any input!

Did you change the fender liners when you changed to the M-sport bumper because they are different from the stock bumper.

Check the inside of your fenders. You could probably spot the spot on the fender liner where it's rubbing.

its actually rubbing on the flat area directly in front of the tire (if pointed straight) but only rubs when turning right. i dont think its anything for me to worry about, its just really annoying... and im not even sure why its rubs on the flat area.
