Widebody Help REQUIRED
To start, I've had the kit for years, since like 2015, however it's always had an issue that continues to nag at me since I've put it on.
Whenever I go out of a driveway or even a dip, my REAR tires are rubbing on the body kit fender. Not at the top as if the cars too low, but at the rear. If the tire were a clock, it would rub at approx 10 O' Clock. Just where the top fender meets with the rear fender piece. My setup is ... Greddy v1 fenders Skunk2 coilovers ( replaced 6k springs with 8k springs ) Stance lower control arms v1 Gramlight 57xtreme Matte Black 18 x 10.5 +12 Tires are 285/35/18 ISC 25mm conversion spacer 5x100 to 5.114.3 Someone told me that trailing arms could be a solution. However, I'd rather not waste money on trailing arms if it won't fix my problem. As you can see...My car is not lowered where I want it to be because if I were too lower it, the tire would break the fender. It's rather annoying. (also, side note, ADVICE on rear wheel fitment please...since I feel like my rim/tires look small on the back. Feels like it needs another 1/2 inch/ full inch wider stance...) Here are some pics. ![]() ![]() ![]()

I rub in this exact same place, RB v2 although my car is lower then yours.
I don't think the trailing arm are going to make any difference at all. Personally, i'm considering trimming that area smaller tires are the only %100 fix but the'll look funny |

I wish there was a fix other than cutting into more of the body. Oh well.
Appreciate your feedback. |
