need help...anyone with h&r coilovers and 18x8 wheels my rear tires are rubbing very
slightly on the springs and I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem. It isnt severe but does cause me some concern...Do you think a small spacer is a good idea. Doesnt look like Im getting any rubbing on the outside.
TIA

tire size is 225/40-18 (potenza s03s)...Ill have to check the offset..but in fact the stock
sport tires also rubbed on the springs (just never knew it until I got the new wheels)

yeah check the offset that might be the problem...
how low of a drop on the c/o are you using. could it be possible that you have it too low for a stance setting that it would be causing the wheel alignment to have a - caster? or is it - camber?

Hmmmm...
I've had a "rubbery squishing" noise from my rear suspension when going over speed bumps...that might be the cause (tires making contact with springs). I'm going to poke around when I get a chance. I have 225/17 Dunlops with ET35 rims (17x8). The rear gap is just under two fingers, so it's not REALLY low at all.
