HELP!!!! With the tire rubbing!!
 

All right so i upgraded from 16" inch stock to 17" inch aftermarket! But in doing so i have problems with my tires rubbing on the wheel well every time i hit a small bump. I do have my car lowered 3" inches from the ground and i have about 150 pounds of speakers and box in back... what do i need to do to stop the rubbing? also in the next two months i want to go to 18"s. So any advice would be great! Thanks in advance :ring:

sounds like you got the wrong sizing for your tires, what size did you use?

Re: HELP!!!! With the tire rubbing!!
 

Maybe consider rolling your fenders. I'm in the same boat as my fronts rub to the point where I know have decent sized grooves in my tires.

Get lower aspect ratio tires, run wheel spacers, roll your fenders, etc.

A 3" drop? Maybe consider something less. Rolling your fenders will help and probably fix it.

Rent or buy a fender roller. Start by googling it
