Rubbing - 4/14/2008 3:30:32 PM    Dbultez   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/14/2008 Status: offline I just installed 20" wheels on my car and if I am running it hard around a corner or hit a small bump my tires rub in the back. Any way to stiffen up the rear end so I dont rub or atleast rub less? _____________________________ '03 V6 EX Coupe Silver 20"x8.5" TSW Snettertons (Hyper Silver) Post #: 1

Basically you need different shocks/springs, the sway bar might help enough but I doubt it. _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!

WheelBrokerAng .ie: I wont even sell 20's to anyone who trys daily to buy these from me as they do try to..I don't like the liability nor do I want to see one of my customers lying face down on the side of the road in some TV news ad.. Sorry for the sad note on this, but Ive had bad problems with 20's on smaller cars over the years and I dont sell them any more except to the cars that can handle them with out all the problems. _____________________________ " Prejudice Saves Time ; It Enables Us To Form Opinions Without Facts " (in reply to Dbultez) Post #: 4
