Another "my tires are rubbing thread what can i do about it"....
Okay so my suspension is as follows. TRD springs 10mm spacers and i have konig feathers with 205/55/15s. Not sure about the offset or really what offset means. My best guess is its how offset the rim is from the center of the hub? Which would explain why the same tires on same size rims the stock ones did not rub but soon as i changed the rims its rubbing now. Seems most prominent when going over a huge bump or a pothole on high speeds and also if someone else is in the car.
Looking at a few of my options the obvious one would be to go to a smaller diameter tire like a 50 but that would be a waste of money at this point as my tires are brand new. I am also thinking of getting tokiko shocks and struts. I am hoping that will cure all my problems. Hopefully someone else who has put on rims and tires on lowered springs but didn't not change their struts can post their before and after results. Lastly i am thinking of rolling the fenders. Looking at where the tire is hitting the fender i don't think it will help much. The rear tires are hitting a bit as well but i attribute that to the hub spacers i have in already. I am debating about taking out the spare tire to see if that would make any difference with the rear rubbing. My commute is non freeway and i keep a AAA card in my wallet at all times. What do you guys think, few experts come to mind when i think about asking wheel and tire questions if you could chime in.
