Hey guys I picked up a set of Volk ce28's on here in May and Im running 18x8 in the front with a 48et with a 225 tire.. In the rear in 18x9 with a 50et with a 245 tire.. The front doesnt rub, but the rear is a tad crazy, i was slammed on ap2v1's when i got the car and when i put the volks on they rubbed in the rear so i raised it a bit, i recently got the rear fenders rolled and the rear bumper shaved at Fizz Autosports in Deer Park, LI and I slammed the back, it rubs quite often and its annoying... What needs to be done here, im not running that aggresve of an offset... Does anyone have a setup that is close to this and is having or had the same problem, I just dont know what else to do to make these work beside setting them up with some negative camber, (which im not looking foward to).. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Don't worry about negative camber. 2 - 2.5 degrees doesn't give much asymmetrical wear. Toe is the major wear culprit, keep it to the minimum end of the spec range.

 

When they rolled the fenders did they relocate the bumper tab? 9 +50 isnt super aggressive, and should be fine with -2 camber. If it is as bad as you say, and the tab is out of the way. Jack the car up, take off the rear strut, and lift the wheel and tire up into the fenderwell to check to see where it rubs.

 

9 +50 is not hellaflush lol
check the tab first, thats where its rubbing if its not cut out.

 

are you running a 245/40/18 or a 245/35/18 in the rear?

 

I agree with the negative camber. The tire size like Dressed 2Kill mentions should be 245/35R18. If I can help let me know.

 

Im running a 245/40/18, and the guy did something with a zip tie on the bumper tab but the whole tab still looks to be there.. How do you exactly go about vutting it out?

 

bump guys, need some help with this.. what should the bumper tab look like when its cut out? and how do i go about getting the camber done? allignment?

 

This is the bumper tab, you can see how much it sticks out compared to the rolled fender:



This is a hack job, but you can see the tab has cut off, the bolt relocated further back, and the quarter panel has been trimmed almost even with the rolled fender.



Yes, an alignment is all you need to adjust negative camber. I would recomend UK spec camber, -1 front and -2 rear. Also, in the future a 245/35 is the proper diameter and would give you more clearance.

 

Ok well Ill go snap the car out of storage tomorrow, and ill do the whole masking tape thing to see where its rubbing, and then ill either address the issue or continue back here to you guy for excess help!
