Caster adjustment

[FReeSky]

Im having issues with clearance on my front wheels, running some wide tires so the my tires are hitting the back of my fender, i need about an inch of space, thought maybe getting a positive caster would help, I was going to call an aligment shop tomorrow to see about it figured id post it here first maybe I can get some feedback to help me thanks!

Caster moves the strut forward a backwards (parallel to the side of the car) and will not give you any clearance.

I doubt caster would get you what you need, and the cars stock don't have a caster adjustment, you would need an adjustable bushing for the lower control arm.

Got it, you don't think having a positive caster would give me a better turning angle that doesn't hit the back of the fender? I thought about smaller tires, not sure what to do right now here's a pic

if so, it looks like your tires are mounted backwards too.....

An inch of positive caster not only will not help, it will just be worse than what you have now.

Looks like you are trying to run wide wheels... not sure who has told you this will work but one major drawback of wide wheels is that you will rub at full lock.

Live with it or get smaller wheels.

Left & right wheel were swapped, not going smaller wheels or tires. Cutting it where its hitting and molding it back a little/ nobody told me it'd work, you live and you learn

Thanks

I suppose adjustable front LCA could help, push the button of the wheel out. Gonna be spendy though. Cutting is the cheap way out. Can't say I blame ya, I had some that rubbed at full lock too

If LCA would fix my problem id definitely get it but I don't think it will with the amount of space I need. I found a body shop that are cutting and molding the skirt/fender back a little which won't be cheap either but it might be the way to go

It'd be some pretty heavy camber for sure. You could just widebody I guess, then this wouldn't be a problem
