Passenger rear tire getting chewed up
My car is sitting on the Strano/Koni setup and is running 315s out back. While it looks amazing and handles awesome, the outer edge of my passenger rear tire is getting chewed up by the metal lip on the inner side of the fender. It seems to only happen when the car is articulating like driving sideways up a sloped driveway and the tire gets tucked.
My first inkling was to adjust the PHB to pull the passenger side in a hair a little which I did yesturday at AutoX (came 1st in my class ). My second thought was to roll my fenders. And since the passenger side naturally sits lower to begin with I was thinking about raising it a little to even up the rear; can this be done by simply twisting the spring or would I need to add something to the pad?
Has anyone else run into this kind of situation?
How easy/hard is it to roll fenders? Is it effective?
Should I be concerned that my tire is now junk (I'll post a picture) even though it still holds air and handled fine in AutoX?
