Hey guys,
I have 18“ rims and using the extreme contact dws06 all season tires (235/40 R18). Recently I changed my suspension to the H&R cup kit (not the coil overs).
Here is the problem: whenever the car is at moderate speed and hitting a bump or going into a quick dip on the road, the front tires would rub the top of the wheel well. There’s a huge rubbing noise and I can see scratch marks on the outer edge of the tire. Passenger side is particularly bad.
The car is not crazy slammed. There’s 1.5 finger space between the tire and the edge. I know there’s a metal and screw piece on the wheelwell that’s the closest thing to the tire. The issue happened before the change to the cup kit but it’s getting a bit worse now.
What can I do to remediate this problem?
