255/35 r18 Rubbing rear fender. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

guajar01 · 04-06-2020, 08:15 PM

I just recently installed some coilovers along with rear LCAs and some new rims with tires. The rims are 18x9.5 +35 wrapped in a 255/35 r18. I am able to fit 2 fingers underneath the rear fender but I am still getting a little rub. Anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to remedy the rub issue? The LCAs I have are blox and I did take note that the bolt that connects to the hub is on the hole of the top of the LCA.

Since you have coilovers, you can lift a bit. And give more camber if possible.

There is a specific subforum for such questions, I would ask @Leonardo there.

If your LCA are installed the same as this picture, I think that is correct. -3 camber in the rear should be enough. What are you running now? Also, did you preload the coils to spec? My 18x9 +27 rear has 1.7mm more of poke than a 18x9.5 +35. The stretch of a 255 on a 9.5 should be similar to my 245 on my 9.

Not all tires are equal to the numbers on them. Meaning some are wider than others in the same size. What tires are you using?

My LCA setup is exact to the picture you have. My rear camber is set at 3.1, my tires are the falken azenis fk510 . My preload is at factory setting on both front and rear. I’m on flex z

You need more camber.

My bad -3.1. The coils where preloaded already but I’m now thinking I may have to adjust them a little now that you mention it

My FA500 did not arrive in the box properly preloaded. I had to adjust them myself. I would inspect them to make sure they are. -3.1 looks really close to not rubbing.

I’ll definitely give it a try. I appreciate the advise. Hopes this remedy’s the issue.
