OHH I'm so happy! the rubbing it's gone!

I installed my new O.Z. Ultraleggera 16x7, 37mm offset, with 195/50/16 rubber! they are awesome, and about 7 pounds lighter than the OEM with snow tires I use. I also added a 10mm spacer in the back.

BUT... I was having rubbing issues on the rear axis. And thanks to people here in Yaris Wold, I got many possible solutions:

1. Take out 10mm spacers (for some reason there are stuck) and I really didn't want to do this.

2. Roll the fenders

3. Add a Camber Kit

4. Add a RING-TYPE COIL SPRING STABILIZER


So I started with number (4)- Spring Stabilizers, I installed them last night, put one OZ and went for a ride!

NO RUBBING, ok I went back home and put the other OZ and test them this morning on my way to work.

NO RUBBING!!!

The rear suspension got a little harder (not as soft) but feels really good! Lift UP the rear about 1/2 inch bringing the car to almost level with the front suspension the NF210s really make the car look like if I had something very heavy in my trunk, and now my car handles so much BETTER! like Loren told me about the Spring Stabilizers:

"Just jack up the car and squeeze on in on each rear spring. Will raise the ride height a little, and by removing an active coil from the spring, also raise the spring rate."

I'm still going to do the Camber Kit (there is no rubbing with full tank and my self but I bet once I add weight the tires will hit the fenders again) so this may help, I'm going to load my car and test it before adding camber. Roll the fenders as well! and if everything works well under LOAD I'm going to try to keep the spacer because looks so GOOD.



Thank you YarisWold!!!
