QUOTE(dirtrun @ Aug 5 2016, 04:15 PM) Another solution is to change back same size tyres.. I assume you changed to a bigger 205/45 - maybe from 195/55??? same size bro, b4 this also used the same tire profile 205 45 16 but one tire is pancit so change the tires.. |

QUOTE(dirtrun @ Aug 5 2016, 04:45 PM) Its only a little.. different brands can differ a bit n then some got rim saver design is also a tad wider.. but never had this issue past 1 1/2 years bro.. because when i bought new rim i also bought new tires together with sports spring.. and only happened after change tires this past monday..Problem is when you fitted new rims [probably wif a more outward offset] plus lowering causing this rubbing.. Try de 'ketuk' ting first.. if still got rubbing then tink smaller size liao.. BTW 195/50 is still decent - dont look like its much smaller than the 205/45.. l know , l am using tat size now from 205 45 also.. |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Aug 5 2016, 04:46 PM) Doesn't make sense if really the exact same size. If exact same size and you don't change rims or suspension, then the new tires also should clear like before! If you said that before was 2 finger gap and now only 1 finger gap, I think the tire size is different than before, meaning now is bigger tires. thats why im confused bro.. i also thought they might put diff size.. but its the same size only.. |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Aug 5 2016, 05:02 PM) The only other possible explanation (but also remote) is that your spring is already sagging, or sitting/relying on the bump stopper to stop/reduce the spring play and now your bump stopper is already worn out hence your car bounces more, rubbing the tires. But again that is also a bit far fetched theory. I still suspect you got the wrong tire size. let me check again later bro.. if diff tire then go back and change it.. |

QUOTE(linkin182 @ Aug 31 2016, 11:57 AM) Well this link here suggests a ground clearance of 150mm (15 cm). its kumho ecsta spt bro..You can try to measure and see if the clearance is symmetrical. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « If its not, then there is the possibility of sagging springs. Also, perhaps you can provide the tyre brand. Though we all know it is 205/45 (sometimes could be 7j, or 7.5j width) |
