I've got Work Emotion CR Kai's on my FD that I just bought. According to the ex-owner specs are
17x7.5 +25 Front with 215/45/17
17x8.5 +33 Rear with 225/45/17
The offset on the front seems really low, but that is not the problem... problem is the rear. The car is on Tein springs and it scrubs when taking hard corners, large pot holes and with ppl in the back (usual causes).
I have already rolled the guards on the rear, but they still scrub.
I am thinking of getting camber kits + coils, even then will the scrubbing be fixed? Or should I just change rims? and what spec on a 17 would be ideal?
the problem might be is you're scrubbing the rear bar (the area where the screws holds the rear bar into place), that's where i'm scrubbing essentially
solution:
1) camber kit + coils but no guarantee that will solve your problem depending on how low/high your ride height is
2) chuck a 215 on the rear and see how that goes
3) get new rims, ive ran x7.5+42 fronts with a 225 and 8.5+42 rear with a 235 without any problems
Haven't taken any photos of the car, so I'll re-use what he posted. I believe you guys would have seen this FD before, I did read about the scrubbing issue he was having somewhere, but had no idea it would still scrub after rolling guards.
This is current - The rims have been re-sprayed.
@ Stig - Actually still scrubbing on the rear bar and the guard. Ride height would be maintained at the current height if changing to coils cos I've got to cross a freaking huge hump everyday and don't want to lower anymore than it already is.
