2016 GT3RS front tires seem to be rubbing at full lock
I just picked up my RS and I am extremely happy with my choice. Big thanks to the team of knowledgeable members here who helped me make the decision! A few pics attached.
I realized after I tried to park the car when I got home is that the front tires are rubbing ever so lightly on full lock, left as well as right. As I understand the car is on its original suspension and I already took it to Ray Catena Porsche dealer. I was told that its normal and nothing to worry about. Is this a known problem?
Completely normal. And on undulating tracks they front tyres also wear through the inside liner. Porsche have been kind enough to make these out of cheap plastic. The later builds do this less. These features are seen as a trade off for the advantages of bigger rubber. Imv adds to the character.
The 4 corners of a 991 GT3 RS rub on the stock tires depending on the driving speed and conditions. There is a TSB to reduce rubbing in the rear.
If the front rub bothers you, you can remove caster by taking out all the shims, then get more camber by pushing the strut tops fully inboard, and no more rubbing.
My Touring rubs the front tires on full lock when I have the front end lift in the up position.
Then dont rub when the car is not lifted? now that I think of it most of the time I have had rubbing is when my car is lifted - will check again tomorrow
