Re: Help With Front Fender Tire Rub

roll the fender and add a sway bar and that will help. if it were mine I would do the suspension travel test, like mentioned previously, and modify what you need to in order to not have tire rub anywhere in your susp travel while turning.if that means simply adjusting the turning stop s a little, then thats great. if the tires rub and your steering is only part way through it's cycle, then you may have to swap in a different set of wheels. possibly you could find a set of loaners to test a wheel with less outward offset. you will wanna get it corrected before doing paint. paint is not a cheap thing to do so no use setting yourself up for problems. also, check into some research on how IFS works with uneven control arm lengths because the suspension should be set up correctly and alignment done before doing bodywork or swapping wheels etc. with uneven control arms the camber changes through the suspension travel so it becomes more important to have them set up correctly at ride height so the camber changes in your favor as the susp moves toward full jounce
