Volk RE30s rubbing against wheel wells

I bought and installed some used Volk RE30s some time ago and while I like the way they look with the wide, aggressive stance, they rub against my wheel wells when I turn hard corners or have more than 2 ppl in the car. What would be the most inexpensive solution to eliminate this? I was thinking a tighter suspension or new springs would be ok? Obviously I want to keep the wheels.. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like you need to roll your rear fenders and possibly mold front liners.


What's your current suspension? What size are the wheels and tires?

Well, aside from only straight line driving with no passengers, you are limited to rolling your fenders. Though I suppose, if you can see where the tire rubs you could use a heat gun and mold the fender liner a bit. Might work, if that's all that's touching...

If your rims are rubbing I can't imagine how bad this will be with tires on it!


In all seriousness, roll your fenders and possibly fender liners.

Hmm, ok thanks. I'll do some research on rolling and pulling fenders.
