Those are the lowering ones. I just dont see how a 28" tall tire is rubbing though. I run a 28" tall in the front and dont rub.

Is it centered after spring change? That can cause rubbing


It's just the one side. I mean granted the other side is pretty close so at speed around a turn I'm sure it would. I talked to AM today and they'll refund me my money for the tires and send me some M+H fronts but I have to pay shipping on sending my tires out and a 10% restocking few even though the M+H cost 20+/- bucks less

It's only rubbing the fender. If it was more inside the wheel well it wouldn't because there's 2-3 inches of room to go up, but the outside tread is hitting the fender.

There was a similar post about this issue back in Sept. '13. As a matter of fact, somehow I was transported back to that time clicking on this post. It's a mystery to me.

Be that as it may, I was curious about my car so I went out and did a check. Both front = 27 3/4", back = 28 3/8 + or - 1/8" all around. Results negligible.:clap:
