Hello all,

I have a slight problem. I recently switched to the 17" 350z rims (stock suspension), and when I have people in the back, the tires rub on the fender well. This is causing my tires to shred up a little bit, and I would like to stop this.

What can I do to 'beef' up the suspension in the rear so that the tires won't rub? It happens when I turn or go over speed bumps (only when someone is in the back).

Thanks

 

get different tires

 

where are they rubbing?
inside edge?
outside edge?

 

I dont understand how they can be rubbing unless your also running a huge tire. I've Had 18x8 g35 & 350z rims on my lowered max without rubbing so get new tires.

 

Try using some wheel spacers...it's worth a shot.

 

Sorry, I haven't been here in awhile. Here is a picture of where the tire is rubbing:

 

did you drop your Max? If so, put stock springs back in to raise it back up.
Or perhaps get some stiffer springs
Or get lower profile tires
OR get some AirBags!!! yeah! (jk on the airbags)

Good luck with your "scraper"

 

are your rear struts going to die soon?

 

Depending how much the rub is, could you roll the fender in & up a bit to allow for enough clearance? I always consider the cheapest solution first.
