Whats the rim width and offset on the new wheels? Is the car lowered?
There is nothing wrong with the factory setup. Dont forget that when you lower a car you change the whole geometry of the car suspension.
If you've just fitted bad wheels then camber may solve the rubbing problem but will not help cornering.
jimmy-s3:
The rim size on the new wheels is 8 or 8.5 im not too sure and the offset i think is 40. (BBS CH reps). Just looking at the car from the rear you can tell the camber is not matching up on both sides. I want it set up to factory really but i think they will rub like mad !
pazz:
Is the car lowered? If so springs or coilovers?
A bit unusual for the camber to just be out on one side if you've not lowered it.
jimmy-s3:
Yeah its on coilovers!
Top Cat:
This is going to sound mad but i think the drivers side rear set up sticks out about 2 mil further. :chicken:
When i was setting mine up, or rather VWR were, i kept getting rubbing on the drivers side only. Even when they measured both sides and matched the coils accordingly.
Also if you have got 8.5j wheels with 40 offset then you will get rubbing on severe compression no matter what you do unless you add lots of camber. :santa:
