68 with American Racing rims
« on: June 19, 2020, 11:26:43 PM »
Currently have 15's on front with a -6mm offset,  and they rub when I hit a bump....If i change to 14's and a offset is 0.00 will this correct the issue? The rear also rubs, but i plan a 2 incn lift, will this correct that issue?
Thanks,

What's the tire size and where do the rub? Maybe they're just to wide.

Many factors come to play on this…As mentioned, how wide are the rims, and tire sizes? Lets not forget worn out shocks/suspension can cause the issues you have. Btw, a 6mm offset is so minuscule to really cause problems. Did you mean a 6 inch offset? THAT is quite dramatic.  Post some pictures if you can.
