18" wheels rubbing? Anyone...
 

As aove only when I have got back passengers though :brickwall

Is there any way around this

I don't get this, but I'm assuming this might be because I have a new age and you have a classic?
I seem to recall a while back you could buy parts to stop your suspension bottoming out which you fit near the top of the suspension turrets - just like a rubber or plastic block. Prob. not the best solution, but I can't think of anything else to suggest - firmer springs perhaps? What are you running?

I had to roll my rear arches to get my 225/40/18s in.

Thanks for the rapid replys people :)

I'm running standard wrx ra springs n shocks, they may even be the original ones from 1994, they seem stiff and firm still :wonder: .

Fine with no rear passengers but a nightmare with even 1 person.

My tyres are 215/35/18 if that helps.

Where do i look for these plastic things then matey?

Thanks again guys :thumb:

bump stops thats what ya need can get them from most poly bush companys

Strange i ran 215/35/18 on my STI v3 no rubbing what so ever.

Hmm:wonder: no rubbing at all? even with back passengers... Maybe its down to you having better "STi v3" suspension


Thanks "Kinghorn" il'll look for bump stops and give em a try :thumb:

Nope none at all even with back passenge. Maybe your shock is worn and more play in it.

No rubbing here either, even with 2 or 3 passengers in the back.
I once tried 225 40s and they rubbed with passengers in, but no problem at all with 215 35s

Handling... I guess it may upset it. :(

Mainly when cornering! ok in straight line,

poly bushes is that what they are?
