15x7, +30 offset, 195/55/15... rubbing?

[jerome]

how bad would rubbing be?


on stock suspension?
on TRD springs/shocks?
on coilovers?


if these work... but would rub bad on coilovers... what are the ways to elimintate rubbing? negative camber in the rear?

would there be any possible way to avoid fender rolling?

[Thirty-Nine]

Stock, not bad.
On TRD, pretty bad
On Coilovers, really bad.

bummer.

would running 195/50/15 help any?

or am i better off running +35 wheels then? (15x7, +35, 195/55/15) ?

50 series will help.....the rears will be close to flush to the side or close to poke out.......just a small amount camber will take care of it,rub,yes on bumps,uneven surfaces,etc....

the fronts will stick out fairly flush.....rubbing....dear god yes....more camber....

can you drive safely with it....yes...roll fenders,add camber,and enjoy the wonderful way it looks,save some money for new tires as camber wear will kill them off...

two roads of thought.....stay safe and drive it and enjoy it.....or put it on and run it and maintain it....sidewalls are fairly tough and rolling fenders is great to keep them safe.....it makes a nasty sound when it rubs but you get used to it and after a while you dont notice it much....ok I lied there.....the sound it makes will haunt you...lol

so definitely go with a camber kit for the front and rear? recommendations on what to get?

what if i go +35? would i still need to do any of this? could i run 195/55/15 on +35?

i know about the nasty sound... i had an '06 xa prior to this on 16x7 volks w/+33 offset in the front and +23 offset in the back... trust me... lol

195/55/15 +35 will be fine. Pretty flush in the front, a little sunken in the back. But shouldn't rub.

One thing you can do is take the wheels to a machine shop, and have a few mm shaved off to bring the wheels a little in. You will def need some camber bolts, and you should be ok with -1 of wheel tuck. What wheels are you looking at getting?

i had +30 offset on 195/55r15 and i am on coilover with 2.4 camber at the front, none at the back. big bumps on the road it will rub at the back on the sidewall of the tire and at the front ull kill your inner fender. doesnt matter cuz its hella flush :)

im dropped so i can but maybe a finer and a half from fender to tire. my gf says i got big fingers tough xD

to avoid that 'sunken' look could i add camber bolts in the rear + hub spacer to eliminate rubbing?

never knew you could even do that with wheels but thanks for the suggestion. well, i'm looking at both ends of the price spectrum... RBs... but also RE30s...

why none in the back? i shredded a set of tires after running +33/+23 in my xa... learned my lesson there and had to do fender work... don't really wanna go that route again... lol

Yes, I'm actually running a 15x6.5 +21 offset (+38 offset wheels with 17mm of spacers) in the rear right now, no camber (but rolled fenders) with no rubbing. Tire size 185/60/15.

I also ran some 15x7's with 195/50/15's, +19 offset rear, no rubbing. I'm on DF210's btw.

cuz its a pain to adjust camber at the back with shims and i dont trust it since ii do track weekly now
