i just finished a front suspension and brake upgrade. Here are the specs

spohn a arms, wonder bar and anti sway bar
new idler arm, center link inner and outer tie rods
2" drop spindles from racecraft
13" rotors with 4 piston wilwood brakes from ed miller
18" american racing iroc rims
goodyear egale f1 245/40/18

I did not get the alignment done yet but when I turn from lock to lock the back of the tires on each side rub the wheel well.

I tried to upload pics but the site would not let me, I will try again later.

Do you think it is in the alignment or maybe I am going past full turn.

Any help would be appreciated

 

Im running eibach prokit springs, 1.7" spacers, and 02 WS6 17x9.5 wheels with BFG KDWS tires. Mine scrub on the back of the wheel well too. But doesnt get into anything really bad to where its cutting up the tire or breaking things.

My plan is to use a heat gun and melt the plastic inner fender and push it in at the contact spots. The tires rubbed dirt away in the spots that its hitting, so its super easy to see where extra clearance is needed.

Are you just rubbing alittle or are you like really getting into things when turning??

it is rubbing a little. It just bothers me, it should not rub at all!

 

Yeah you'll have this. After fitting 33" tires on my 94 Cherokee...the rubbing that my firebird has doesnt even phaze me. haha.

I would try heating the wheel well plastics up a bit and forming them so the tires dont hit. Quick and easy fix.

My car does the same thing and I've had the allignment all over the place.
You forgot shocks with your new suspension!!

 

i put in new moog springs and kyb adjustable struts. I am going to put the plastics in the wheel wells and see what happens after I get the wheel alignment.

 

I just got the alignment done and they still rub against the rear wells at full lock. I can see what they are hitting. I am just going to bend the metal so it does not rub anymore.
