Default 17x11 Rubbage

I have 17x11's in the rear. the rub a little on bumps. What do I need to do to stop it. Can I just roll the inner lip of the fenders??

thanks

Take off the wheel and look on the inside of the wheel wells...you'll be able to see where the tire has been rubbing, hit those spots with a hammer.

Is your car lowered? Rolling the fender lips is always a good idea but be careful not to crack the paint. If you are lowered, an adjustable panhard bar will help.

What kind of car?? I have 17x11 and the bump stops are no issue with my 17x11 zr1's (2000 Camaro SS) maybe these will help you out.

Do you have an adjustable PHB to check that your rear is centered?

Somebody on here rents a fender roller...if your that low than it would be a good idea to roll them and/or raise the car slightly.
