Rubbing Fenders

[jstcalmebatman]

just as a side note, i was wondering how thick is the sidewall of most tires? i rub all day everyday but because this is my first build ive never experienced just how much i can get away with before i a blow out. any words of wisdom to share?

heres a old pic . since this ive thrown on 15mm spacers, ive had my fenders flared and a -2 camber adjustment. my entire sidewall is bare now. with 245/35/19 on 9.5 in wide miro stp3

Most front fenders are pretty soft, you could probably roll them a bit and give them a tug by hand.

I don't even notice tire rubbing anymore. When I'm with a passenger it's like,

"Umm, what's that noise...?"
"What noise? Oh, that's just the tires hitting the fenders, don't worry about it, it's fine."
"Uhhhh... "

I also tend to crank my music to drown out the sound lol

The sound of my sub-frame bracing smacking the pavement on big dips in the highway is considerably louder than the sound of my tires rubbing, so to avoid hearing either noise I just turn up the music

ditch the fake wheels and it won't rub anymore, i promise.

I can barely turn my front wheels, it kind of pisses me off. I'm not as low as I want to be, my wheels are sunk in about 18mm, and I can't turn the steering wheel much past 90 degrees without rubbing hardcore. Both my fenders are already wavey and the inner lip is starting to crack and separate from the rest of the fender.

Thanks for your responses!
Unfortunately im going to give up my stance for now being that while i was at school by dad bought 1" coil boosters and installed them the clearance is great now and i really cant complain since this is only temporary till i get more money for coil-overs, rolling fenders, wider rims, and other great stuff

Being that im only 16 im very happy with how my car is so far and it does catch peoples attention all the time, now i know how all you guys feel! lol

I took a mallet to the rear fenders on my Grand Marquis. I'm about ready to order new springs anyway. I just have to figure out what spring rates I should get made.

My car rubs so much I don't even hear it anymore, I almost find it weird riding in other cars and not hearing it rub.

lol! so true

rubbing fenders is where its at just leave it haha, heres my efforts

get the fenders rolled dude, ( the right way,)
its cheaper than getting the fender repaired when your tire catches it wrong. it only takes one time for the lip to get pulled down and out by the tire,

seen it too many times.
