the brand of the tire may help.. they may be labeled the same but believe me, they are different sizes... take off the wheel and see where it is rubbing... smack the **** out of it what a 1lb sledge hammer and a 2x4.. then spray with undercoating... 18" tires put the crown of the tire higher into the wheel well where there is less room for a wide tire... especially if youre lowered..

I just put Michelin's on but it was doing the same with my falkens

You tell us man. We can't take your wheel off and inspect it for you. Take it off and look at the tire to see what part of it is rubbing. Itll be noticeable. Then look at your inner fender, lca's, quarter panel, etc and see what its rubbing on.

I ran Falken 285/35/18's on my car(lowered), never had an issue.. Odd that yours would be rubbing..

285's should NOT be rubbing.

Take your rear wheels off and inspect them Einstein.

Hey I don't rub with 315s. Lol. It's prolly your wheel offset. Didn't see what wheels you had. Listen to these guys, or run a spacer if you need to.

just look at the tires you don't even need to take them off the car to figure it out.

if its slicing on the outside of the tires by the sidewalls then you need to roll your fenders and I have the roller tool for rent (see sig below).

if no signs of slicing on the outside then it's the inner wells that need a good old fashion beating.

YUP. & when they say BIG FUCKN HAMMER, they mean it, a regular hammer will do, but you'll be banging that wheel well for a bit lol

I even bought a hammer just for it. The re did the under coating with duplicolor under coating ruberized. I even took of my bump stops and cut them flush to the body.

before you go too crazy did you try getting an adj panhard bar?

285's are not too wide so you shouldn't have to go too crazy

the offset will make certain tires rub, also the diameter will make a difference...these tires were on knockoff C5 spokes. The tires were 295 35 18 KDW gforce TAs...


here are some pics when I did mine..



what a 275 17 looks like next to a 295 18..


tire rubbed here..


I dont have a pic of the BFH anymore but I actually used a 25Lb solid cast dumbbell... haha you can tell where its rubbing either on the tire/rim or inside like mine was...
