s2000 wheel offset & tyre help!

if you cut it then it will not hit anymore. When you hit a bump and your wheels scub does it sound like it's rubbing metal or plastic? also look at your tyre is there plastic on the rear tyre or it's straight cutting through your tyre. Once you trim the rear bar it shouldn't rub at the height your at, atm or when you lower it.

I can't really tell. It's not over bumps let's say I'm going 70 in a 70 zone and the road is bumpy it'll rub. Only when I'm going fast it rubs. Not sure what it sounds like to be honest. I'm goin to cut trim my rear bar and go for a drive tonight and see if it still rubs or not. And update you with what happens probably later tonight . If it still rubs it's probably hitting the fender aye?

[vyets]

i doubt it's hitting the fender but take a look put your finger under the guard and see where the rubber is if there's rubber on the guard then that's where it's rubbing.

When it rubs metal it sounds like well.. metal like a can rubbing on the floor. When it rubs your plastic rear bumper well it sounds like plastic sounds like your front end when you're going up a driveway and it rubs totally different sounds.

From the picture it dosen't even look like your guards are rolled but of corse I can't tell as I can't see under it. trim the rear bar and relocate the bumper tab and see how you go. that most likely will fix it.

I'll check all that once I get home and am able to check it.
Hmm kind of sounds like both of them at the same time. I saw a picture of I think your rear bar and fender and I saw that the fender tip towards the rear was being bent in under the tail lights.. Mine is bending in slowly too. So that might mean that it's rubbing into the rear bumper and hitting against the fender. And I went to a shop to get my guards rolled so yeah.. I'm pretty sure they are. Yeah I'll be doing that tonight so I'll update you then

Fixed my problem shaved the rear bar and relocated the mount and doesn't scrub and realized it was only rubbing the rear bar not the guards so all good thanks for your help vyets. + Rep

very easy slam? Nah.. The roads i gotta take got bumps and slants everywhere and going into shopping centres, even in car parks are too high. And dont even get me started about getting in to parking for work, speedhumps arent as bad though. but thanks for tip (Y)

hey guys,

i've just moved up to brisbane from melbourne and i'm looking for a reputable business to roll my stock fenders? cos i'm planning on getting rpf1 17x9+45 all around. any recommendations? thinking of asking "fine fitment" at the moment.

also seeking advice on tyre sizes? ideally i want to go 245/40/17 all around but i'm not sure whether pulling/flaring is required for the front fenders? ideally i just want to roll the front fenders and avoid flaring to keep the stock fender look. this is assuming the car will be dropped an inch and no ridiculous camber (it's my daily driver). will 245s fit with just the roll?

lastly, for the people that have lowered their cars, just want to know if it's common to shave off the "mudflaps" or leave them? as mine are already scraping occasionally even at stock height.

thanks in advance.

Ty rolled my guards. Ty as in from Fine Fitment. He will roll them fine, just don't ask to have them flared.

cheers for the advice

oh and guys, by mudflaps, i'll clarify in case i'm using the wrong term... i mean the part of the wheel well liner that extends below the actual wheel well and sticks out beneath the chassis. just wondering if these need to be trimmed when lowering..

[lzybum]

well lets just say...if ur low enough, ur tyres will 'rub' against them on bumps etc and will eventually be 'trimmed' for u lol, happened to me
if not then ur fine
nothing major though!

edit: oh i think i know what u meant, the black rubber/plastic part under the front bumper-ish?
dw, if ur over 100mm in ride height, it should be fine =)

[ludecrs]

I still have mine there. Just well worn.
