scraping!!

[TIM-TIM]

Ive recantly had new coilover's and Borbet A's on my ibiza. but no matter what i do it always seems to scape around roundabouts! has anyone got any tips for this issue

 

[Brummy]

Yes.. let me have your 'A's

 

[Brummy]

Seriously though, its just when your going round roundabouts? Borbets are 7.5 or 8 wide arent they? scrubbing on the arch?
my 7.5 wide 16s only scrub with weight in the car and thats only the rears when hitting speed bumps etc

 

[TIM-TIM]

Mine are 16x7.5! well yeh roundabouts or corners with a bit of speed! the backs are ok! its just the fronts!

 

[Brummy]

strange.. mines on a 60/40 kit and fronts dont scrub ( well they havent when I had then on, they're off at the moment whilst I decide what colour to paint them

does it happen when the steerings in full lock? maybe something spacers could fix?

 

[TIM-TIM]

they dont rub really on full lock like when parking! its when the weight is over the wheel like around round abouts!

roll the arches?

I get alot of scrubbing on my car at the front and only get it at the rear with 2 people in the back.
I am running a 60/40 drop, but Im having to change to coilovers to play with the height as at the current height its starting to damage my tyres.

My rubbing may have something to do with the fact Im running a 205 wide tyre.

take the wheels off and see where its been rubbing... then take action at the wheel arch liners and inner arch

I tried that but its catching the lip of the arch so the coilovers are going on to raise it slightly. I car share to and from work so I want to make it alittle more practical.

buy some with the right offset perhaps?

I was going to ask what the offset was....

 

[CraigW]

The offset of my Oz's is ET35. They are off a Mk3 Cupra R. Ive had to go with a 205 wide tyre as they are a 7j wheel. Had to use a 205 to keep the rolling radius the same.

Need to raise my car anyway to make it more practical for work.

get some thinner tyres and get them stretched over the wheel, thatll stop the tyres catchin on the arch

 

[seattoby]

weird my 9s dont rub on the fron only the back. i took my inner arches out though

errr.. ummmm... oops... 195 45's on a 7.5

 

[crezz]

id agree with that! ^

deffo no need for a 205 on a 7"rim! thats too wide!
the widest id go on a 7J is 195 on the old polo i was running 185/45/15's on 7j's with a very subtle amount of strech
