All right so i upgraded from 16" inch stock to 17" inch aftermarket! But in doing so i have problems with my tires rubbing on the wheel well every time i hit a small bump. I do have my car lowered 3" inches from the ground and i have about 150 pounds of speakers and box in back... what do i need to do to stop the rubbing? also in the next two months i want to go to 18"s. So any advice would be great! Thanks in advance :ring:

sounds like you got the wrong sizing for your tires, what size did you use?

Maybe consider rolling your fenders. I'm in the same boat as my fronts rub to the point where I know have decent sized grooves in my tires.

Get lower aspect ratio tires, run wheel spacers, roll your fenders, etc.

A 3" drop? Maybe consider something less. Rolling your fenders will help and probably fix it.

Rent or buy a fender roller. Start by googling it

Doesn't Jeff the Alignment Guy rent out his fender roller?
