255 40 17...they rub pretty bad in the rear

spinemup · 04-02-2001, 10:13 AM

well i got rear disks in my car out of an svo. the axels are long as heck. and they stick my wheels out pretty far. so far that when i go over a bump at high speeds the rear fender lips rub my tires. i bent them up a little so they aren as sharp of an edge but they still rub. my car isnt even that low. i got about 2 inches from the tire to the lip. i got kyb agx adjustable shocks in the rear and im questioning thier dampening ability. any tips advise on what to do?? im thinking of just going all out and doing rear coil-overs.... im figuring that would stiffen things up a bit. oh yea i got the shocks set on stiff right now. and the rims are m179 cobra "r"

I think that you should get a better fitting rear end, cause the only way to stop it right now would be to limit the suspension travel to 2 inches, which I don't think you want to do. I think that 2 drivers side axels out of an explorer work, ask in windsor power.
