Tire rubbing on fender
I have a 92rs camaro which has P295/50R15s on it. Whenever I turn sharp or have people inside it rubs on the top of the fender. I wannna make these fit some how or just stop them from rubbing. What could I do harder springs maybe idk you tell me?

Re: Tire rubbing on fender
you could roll the fender lips up, or different offset wheel, or have a wheel repair place machine the mounting surface of the wheel to change the offset.

Re: Tire rubbing on fender
Sounds like your rear end is off set, if it only rubs on 1 side. Check the bushings in your Panhard Bar, If they are good, get you an adjustable Panhard Bar. My stock bar, on my GTA with stock springs at stock ride height, with good bushings & stock wheels & tires, was offset to the drivers side.

Re: Tire rubbing on fender
Just a bit of advice.....
I recommend starting your own thread to ask things, instead of just asking your question (which turns out to be pretty unrelated) in other peoples threads.

I get that rubbin in the front with 225/60/15s but only when backing up and turning real sharp, sounds like it catching on the mud flap or inner fender, I can hear the plastic make a racket. Though its all bolted down tight.

We'll need to know your wheels to help you better. Without knowing the backspacing of your wheels, it'll just be a guessing game.
Sounds like your rear end is off set, if it only rubs on 1 side. Check the bushings in your Panhard Bar, If they are good, get you an adjustable Panhard Bar. My stock bar, on my GTA with stock springs at stock ride height, with good bushings & stock wheels & tires, was offset to the drivers side.

Re: Tire rubbing on fender
Ha! I thought I would get a hand slap for changing the thread. My posi still work perfect too after 21 years. Why is it no one carries parts for them in the states?
