jackson38119 · 06-12-2007, 07:12 PM

I need some help i just got mu s2k about 3 months ago and have begun modifications including Header test pipes invidia cat back aem cold air intake torque dampiner lowering springs and 18 inch oz ultegras. After instaling my wheels i have now had rubbing in my front outer fender wells. I belive this is because of the combonation of 18''s and my tein lowering springs. What can i do what are my options and i would like it if i didnt have to drop two grand on coilovers to get a more agressive stance.Thanks.

time to start investigating fender rolling. I also hope you invested in getting an alignment after you lowered the car.

Options:
1. Fender roller
2. Different wheels with a different offset
3. Adjustable coilovers
4. Go back to stock.

Lower profile tires are another option. But keep in mind that changing tire sizes will affect your speedometer's accuracy.

Here's a helpful tool to determine how far off your speedo will be. Tire size calculator
