Hard to say from your somewhat vague description. WHAT is rubbing WHERE? Wheel rub? Tire rub? Car lowered? Car stock height?

If the car is lowered a good deal, that could point towards tire rub on the inner fenderwell.

car is stock height and its wheel rub i'll try to do some work on it today after work and ill takepictures of where its rubbing and all

4th gen rear or 3rd gen?

I have the 17x9.5 in the rear with 2" spacers on a 3rd gen rear and i just can snag a finger inbetween the wheel well wall and tire on a 275/40/17

so sounds about right, you might either have to get a 4th gen rear or open the well wall more

sibelius126

its the 3rd gen rear... so you think i should hammer the **** out of wheel well until it doesnt rub anymore?

Take the wheel off and look at where the spring is and that rubber thing (pinion snubber??) that the rear end hits if bottomed out. You can cut some of that crap out, this is what I am doing to fit the same size wheels that you have. Did you get em from oewheels? That should gain you nearly an inch long as you are not worried about cutting. I have a 91 z28, not sure if all 3rd gens are the same setup. I can get a picture of what I am talking about later tonight.

canadiancarguy

At least that is the part I think you are talking about. It protrudes further out than the actual wheel well.

sibelius126

yea im pretty sure we are talking about the same thing its just that one little spot that rubs other than that with just the 2" adapter the wheel fits very nicely into the wheel well as far as under the lip and gut the perfect stance just cant drive with it rubbing it rained pretty bad here so i couldnt go out and work on it after work i am going to try and get something accomplished this weekend thanks for the advice

now thats sexy!!!!!! To bad the last pic is kinda dark, other than that looks good. Cant wait to put mines on.

canadiancarguy

Can we see a pic of the back of the car? Just wanna see how the width in the back looks. Also wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the side of the car to see how far out the rims sit. Just wanna get an idea of how my rims will look and if I need to trim the outer fenders a little.

will 4th gen wheels work on a 3rd gen
