Horrible Rubbing with 265 MPSS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

brzfl · 08-23-2016, 03:16 AM

Hey guys I'm running 265 MPSS all around on a 18x9.5 et38 wheel and I'm getting horrible rubbing on both the back and the front. My camber in the front is -2 and -1.8 in the rear without LCAs. The front is straightforward and I will probably just raise it a little and dial in the camber. But to fix this rubbing issue in the back, should I raise the car? My only gripe with that is the rear wheels would be poking then as I can't add more camber. So should I lower the car in the rear for more camber to tuck the wheels inside the arches away from the fender

To add, I've read that the rears rub on the fender tab and eventually rub out but it's been over a month now on these tires.

Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks guys

Also yes I am on coilovers.

For reference, here's a current pic of the car:

No fix, time to go wide body in the rear. 😂

How much are you lowered and where is the rubbing actually happening?

Where is it rubbing?
The coilover? Dial back the camber, or add a 3mm spacer.
The fender? Get the fenders rolled.

This thread is a wealth of information regarding fitting 255+ tires under your car.

even 255 is pushing it with the pss tires.

we stock these tires and although they are an amazing tire, they do run a little wider than others in the same "size".

18x9.5 +38 usually my customers will run a 245 set up if they want to completely avoid rubbing or 255 if they are trying to max out what will fit, 265 i see rubbing all day.

It's rubbing on the little lip inside the fender, I'll update with pics in a minute.

Guy who did my fender roll cut these lips off, should solve the problem if that's the only place your rubbing.

Yeah looks like I'm gonna have to do some variation of rolling and cutting the lips, scared though because I have a 500 mile drive today with luggage in the car, dont want my tires to get ruined or blow out
