I am running a CE28N 17 x 8.5 +30 with 245/45r17 and I am getting rubbing at full lock in both directions. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this?

 

roll rear fenders...where are you located?
fronts...? I guess wider fenders or lift her up a little... (coilovers)

 

are you stock height?

 

The rears are fine. I just have a problem with the fronts. I have stock hight in the rear and espelier springs in the front, that lower it about 1" for that even look. I don't really want to put the stock springs back in. Does anybody know if a small spacer will work in the front? I get rubbing when I turn all the way to one side.

 

yeah get hte right tire next time. seriously... check any thread that talks about tires you'll see NO ONE recommends 245 45 that is TOO TALL and there's NO REASON to run it... it's not even wider than it is taller (compared to stock).

the only sizes you should ever run on an evo 17 255 40, , 245 40, 275 40, 18 255 35 265 35. that's it. if you want 285s then consult your local suspension guru cuz you're shavin' some stuff or spacing ridiculously.

if you want to run thin tires for no good reaso you can try some of the skinnier tires in 35 profile but i'd say that's a waste too.

 

I spoke to sveral people and they all told me that 245/45 are fine. I wanted to go with a 255/40 but they told me they would not work unless it was a +35 offset. I looked at the threads and nobody says they wont work.

 

I have 245/45r17 on my stock wheels.........stock on my 03 was 235/45r17....i just wanted to go wider....i barely rub on the plastic at full lock...other than that...looks great with a wider tire....I haven't had any problems...
