Postby colingchambers93 » Fri Aug 16, 2013 10:17 pm

ok so i have an 85 gts coupe. on espilir lowering springs. i have an aw11 manual rack and t3 nrca's . i have xxr 002 wheel is 15x8 0. tires are 195/50/15. then i turn the wheel both ways i rub the sideskirt and then the inner fender well pretty bar. cant get it to full lock. should i just get smaller tires? or smalled tires and tension rods to adjust caster? oh and my local big o tires cant seem to get the alignment right i still have toe out on both sides. any tips on how people got the alignment right on this?

Remove the fender liner, get a bag of zipties and get busy with your saw or Dremel.

Or get a wheel/tire combo that fits under the fender

ok guys. no fender liner. and its hitting the back or the inner fender. like it i turn right. the right wheel rubs the inside. nothing i can cut out without cutting the entire fender skirt out. and ive been running the same size wheels and tire for two years. i only got this issue when i put the nrca's on

Ah, scrub radius. In addition to poor handling, you also get rubbing issues. If you really need more camber, you're better off getting longer control arms and normal rca's. You can fix both problems at the same time that way.
