Rubbing With Swift Spec R's
I have a IX with swift spec r's and stock wheels and tires and they rub pretty hard when the wheel is fully turned. The camber isn't to crazy but it's the only thing I can imagine is causing the rubbing since I've been told I could bun a much bigger wheel without problems and I've never heard of anyone having a problem with swift springs and rubbing before. Can anyone recommend a good camber kit?

They're rubbing in the front when the wheel is fully turned in either direction. I installed them myself so I'm pretty sure they were installed properly but I wouldn't put it past myself to **** something up, but I can't imagine how they could be installed wrong.

some rubbing on the front driver side tire - ran a few scenario and it rubs only when fully locked and compressed - i.e. when i back up into the drive way because the front will not clear and possibly when cornering hard - light scoring on the inside patch near the edge of the wall. i'm using 235/40/18

How exactly is it bad info? I am suggesting he swap to a less meaty tire. Not debating the size of stock tires. He is having rubbing with 235/45/17's. You can talk theory all day but he will still have rubbing at the end of it. A shorter tire like a 235/40/17 will likely solve his problem.

I have Swift Spec R with 235/45/17 tires on stock evo8 wheels and no rubbing at all. I think you must of installed it wrong somehow or you must weight like +300 LBS.
