After I changed the 17" Rims 8 front and 9 rear, running 225/45 front and 245/40 rear, there is no problems at all at the front, but the rear tyres scrub the fender all the time when hit a bump. Actually I just don't want to whack my fenders, instead of rolling the fenders, is it possible just adjust the rear camber to solve this issue?
My car is not lowered, if that works, what is the best setting for the S? (-1? Guessing)
Is Tempe Tyres a good place to adjust? Or anyone can recommend some shop which specialise in adjusting cambers
Cheers
Thanks for help

What offset are your rear wheels and what alignment settings do you currently have?

there are other threads talking about offsets and what you need to do. Best to buy the wheels that fit that change the settings to make them fit...unless you want to be one of 'those' people....

Im guessing however that your settings may be adequate and all you need to do is do the bumper tab mod if its just happening on bumps...others with more knowledge may help you more.

I'm running 255 on my rears with +48 offset, so it would almost be the same as yours in terms of proximity to the outside of the car. When I first got the wheels I also had to do something like the bumper tab relocate too, but I ended up also have to trim some of the plastic on the lower rear / bumper section also. There's no rubbing at all now on the rear.

As you've had rubbing already, you will have pre-marked where the wheels are making contact and you need to trim or bend :-) Just jack the rear of the car up so the wheels drop down some and then you can have a good look to see where you are rubbing.

Here's a link to the tab relocate - http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/837878-diy-bumper-tab-relocated/

Hope this helps!
