    wheel rubbing

    hey i got my new wheels a few months ago and im noticing that my back wheels have some rubbing on the outer sidewall im assuming from being very low in the back with people in it. my wheels are 15x6.5 and the wheels are 195/60/r15. am i gonna have to roll the fenders or get a chamber kit or should i just leave them?

    Your tires are too big. With 15s you should be running 55 profile tires.

    You could try rolling your fenders to get just a bit more room.

    I'm on 15 x 6.5 too and I only rub on hard dips. But my tires are 205/50/15.

    i was curious about why my tires where only 60 vs 65 but i guess i trusted my mechanic to put the right size on their and i guess that didnt happen damn. now if i were to leave it would this become a problem down the road? mainly cause i dont have the money to go get smaller tires they only seem to hit when i have people in the back. also because i have a feeling the shocks are beat. i was looking into getting some new ones but im not sure now

    could probably leave it. the only issue is your speed will be off slightly.

    indicated: 40 actual: 41
    indicated: 60 actual: 62
    indicated: 100 actual: 103

    Always do your own research/homework before doing anything to your car. Then you can offer the mechanic a second opinion is something doesn't seem right to you.

    i had an aftermarket camber kit installed at the dealer. the SA had a friend that gave me a hookup. if i had the car in front of me then I would tell you the brand, but its in the states.
