So I installed new wheels and tires last night. After a trip around the block had noise in the back. The fender liner on the rears was drooping and I tightened them up with a screw/washer on each side. Drove to work this morning to break them in and I got some noise on a couple of very hard corners. Currently running:
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2, 17x7.5 / 45mm offset
Bridgestone RE71R 215/45/R17
I don't think its fender lip rubbing but I will look at it in depth to check it out. I have heard that there is a tab that connects the front bumper to the fender, I will also look at that. Does anyone else know of things I should look at? It has been suggested that I coat parts that I think are hitting with grease to see if it is still there after I get it to rub again. Is there a better method? This is my first try at running oversize tires and there is an autocross this weekend I would like to run these on. Tomorrow will be a nice day after work but it looks like torrential rain for the rest of the week that will severely curb my ability to find the problem. Also doesn't help that I live in the sticks on dirt roads, have to travel a bit just to hit pavement. Thanks in advance for the advice.
