Default HELP urgent : TECHART 19 INCH QUESTION

hello guys

purchased techart formula 19 inch with a rear offset of 25 .

install the tires but on one side i rub on the tire 305 30 19 .

i know i will need to roll the rear fender but many do it without i heard

how ?

1. are the tires too wide ? would a 295 help my case ?
2. would a camber change help y case ?

anyone with any infomortion would be greatly appreciated ok.



right now i cant drive the car it rubs at every road bump.

Thank You

eRIC

I fit same specs in an 18 with a 295 and no rubbing.

Are you lowered?
You might have to roll the fenders, which isn't a big deal. The easiest way is to use an Eastwood fender roller with 5x130 hub. There are plenty of DIY's to walk you through the process.

Here is your other thread and 2 guys are running the 19x11 et25 with 315/25 tires. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-turb...ggressive.html Those tires have a diameter of 25.2, while your 305/30/19s are 26.3". I think your tires are too tall, causing the rub.

edit, I'll check my tires when I get home. Same size rims as you and were installed at dealer. They ran all the diagnostics to make sure they would not rub and wouldn't put the awd out of whack.
