New alloys rubbing!!
I have just put a set of 15" fox racing alloys on my '99 accent. however when there is a load in the back or i go over a bump i hear a grinding/rubbing sort of noise from the rear drivers side wheel. it may be the other side aswell but at the moment i can only hear the drivers side.
i have also gone up a few sizes in tyres. from 175/65 R14 to 195/55 R15.
Has anyone got any ideas as how to best solve the problem. Thanx

RE: New alloys rubbing!!
I am now completly stuck on this.
Ok the wheel was rubbing on the suspension arm. i fitted some 3mm spacers and this fixed the grinding problem.
now whenever i go over a bump or round a cornder it sounds like it is rubbing on the arches itself.
I have now had to resort to fitting the old wheels.
any ideas?

Hopoff,
You went from a 14 inch wheel to a 15 inch = (-1 inch) of clearance, then you went from a low profile 14' tire to a higher profile 15' tire. Now I'm thinkin' and I could be wrong but, if you kept 15' rims and went with a 175/65 R15 tire, it might work but, then again I don't know what the offset number on the rim you bought. Now with that all said and done & your scratching your head mumbling, "what the heck?" to yourself. You need a lower profile tire.
Hope this helps,
Brant
