#129706 cut the plastic fender cover but leave enough to cover up the door gaps so nothing gets inside your doors.

#131336 185 :thumbdown: ..my si's had 195's and I didn't rub..I didn't rub when I was running 205's..it all depends on how low you are and offset of your rims

What size are your wheels? What is the offest?

Im on 205s and do not rub at all. Infact, I have never had rubbing issues on any of my wheels. 195s, to 205s.


To the OP. Take the plastic liner out or cut it so that you dont rub it anymore.

What size wheels and off sets are you on?

#131978 have no idea what offset, but size is 15's. cut the front of the liner a little, seems to have sorted the problem.

its so good to finally have my car on the road

#135568 what is your wheel offset? the lower the offset is, the greater chance of getting that rubbing issue.
