As the title says my tires are rubbing against my coils…

i would get adjustable camber plates but they are too expensive for me right now

i was thinking of just getting a 10mm spacer…but is there a way to adjust the coils camber on the coil?

they are tein HR’s…im a coil noob

You can attempt to raise the car, cause if it too low, you will have too much negative camber

3

You can change the camber where the coilovers bolt to the spindle, the 2 big bolts at the bottom of the coilover, loosen them and then you can adjust the camber.

get an alignment

if the normal settings don’t work, then you need spacers

5

alignment wont be till spring when i do get it…but i was just wondering a way to adjust the camber so its not resting on the coil

im thinking of getting 10mm spacers aswell just cause i want my wheels stick out a bit…but was wondering how to adjust camber…im gonna try it tomorow night

Rob, camber adjustment will not fix the problem, you need to get a spacer, I had the same issue with my Z32 wheels on with my coils.

The only thing that will solve your problem is to get spacers on the front or get different rims. The stock ones will fit.

Camber will not fix this, think about how camber on our cars works. The entire coilover assembly is moved with a camber plate. Adjustment of camber at the mounting point Logik pointed out to you will work, but this is limited in adjustment.

That being said, you are likely rubing when you turn your wheels, a spacer will fix your problems. To see it rub, jack the car up and turn to full lock. The wheel turning in will rub against the spring on your suspension.

If you get spacers, you should also consider longer bolts. Or you can get some lower offset wheels. So many good deals on wheels on the forum.

i had the exact same problem as you till today. i’ve got same, tein HR coilovers and the inside of my tires were rubbing. ended up blowing a tire. anyways… i went out and picked up some spacers today. solved the problem, only i think i wanna go thicker and extend the studs. anyways… good luck with your problem… i say go spacers worked for me and i’m low on funds as well. :smiley:
