car is a fox with 275/40/17 and car rubs with a passenger in the car....fenders are rolled and i beat the hell outta the inners.i put a stiffer spring and that help but the car still rubs....rearend is also a 4 lug disc and the rub is only on passenger side....it seems that the passenger side sticks out a little further then driver side does anyone else have this issue?will i be able to get it to not rub at all?or is 265/40/17 my best option

U have my old scs right? I had the same size tires..super flush to the fender no rub..even with load..all I did is remove quad shocks and a small spacer

no spacers on the car but its a 4 lug disc rearend.....it only rubs when i hit a descent size bump......jus wondering if ppl with 275s never have any rubbing issues? my quad shock have been gone too

Your rearend is moving more to the right. You reinforce your torque boxes?

Does the car have adjustable upper control arms? If so, you can center the rear by adjusting them.

Yes, you can shorten one side and lengthen the other to center the rear.(uppers)

either shorter axles, higher offset wheels or smaller tires. i would rather get shorter axles out of those options though

Mine too. Well it stopped now that I'm breaking the lower torque boxes N it seems like its centering more. Now it's time to reinforce the lowers to get it perfect.

I don't think the his axles are too long, maybe a little off on the offset, but try to center the rearend better, did you get the new 275/40/17s?

I thought the tires you had in the back were bigger than 275/40/17s?
