ok so i bought the rims and tires off a fellow i-clubber here.

the rim/tire setup is:

17x7 +40 offset wrapped in 215/50r17 tires.

i have an 05 legacy w/ tein h-techs keeping her up. the rear tires are rubbing on the outer fender.

my question goes:

would rolling the fenders help? and if so, does anyone know if auto innovations or MPJ does such a service or any other shop close by milpitas/san jose i can get it done tommorow.

-- OR --

should i shove my stock springs back in place and maybe that'll solve the issue?



what do you guys think?

here's a pic of the rubbage:

id say put the stock rear springs back in.

thats what a friend of mine did and it seemed to work fine.

damn... ionno bro.. that'd look kinda weird you think? h-techs in the front and stockers in the rear?

but thanks for the advice.

 

PM khooda, he switched his rear springs with the stock since he was running 255s i believe and i think hes on s techs.

rolling the fenders will fix the rubbing issue. you really should have bought a wheel with a higher offset though. +40 is really low for a subaru, gives a flush look but you pay for it with the rubbing.

 

ok.. so if rolling fenders would help. any place locally do it for me tommorow? i'd love to go to LIC. but its just wayyy too far. anywhere in the san jose/fremont area?

 

it's called a baseball bat

 

what do you mean?

 

I could demonstrate
