Questing for "Hella Flush"

you have any rubbing issues??? i rolled my fenders on mine but i think im rubbing at the point where the rear bumper and fender meet...

[xDTool]

I rub up front like crazy, but im running a 17x9.5 +30 and tucking front tires. No rubbing out back since i rolled my fenders thursday, and moved from a 35 offset to a 30 offset on my 9.5's. when i had unrolled fenders i was eating sidewall on edge of my tire close to the bead.

My car is higher than i want it to be in the back though. may actually work on lowering it some more this weekend. probably another inch or so i need to drop

I did notice where the rear bumper and fender meet is a bad spot, i was thinking about taking a grinder to it, but im waiting to see if i have any rubbing issues there.

i think it's key to what type of tires you run also. i've got a small stretch, and i've not rolled or did anything to my car. only recently i've started to rub in the front inside the fenders as i adjusted the tow on mine. but it has to be a very very full load and hit a mean dip on the freeway. other then that i've never had rubbing issues. 8.5 & 9 with a 205/40 tires so just a small stretch.

Oh thats definitly the case. I'm running 215/45's on 9.5" wheels, but i also have my front adjusted very low and my spec's are relatively aggressive. turned wheels i have to force a credit card between the tire and the fender.

and I'm not ballsy enough to run a 205 on a 9.5, i find 215s to already be a moderate stretch

LOL. last week just did a friend's 10" with the 205/40/18. must say it looked pretty good.

other options to look at is also the tire manufacturers. as certain tires give different stretches, even though they are the same spec's.

Yea i know falken 512s have a big reputation among the VW guys as some of the best stretching tires
