Ok. I just bought new shoe. It was 17x7 | 205/40/17. My problem is my rear tire is rubbing every-time I drive in train crossing or up and down road. How can I fix this problem? Any idea? Pictures? DIY?

Anyway heres some pictures.


I notice that my tire is rubbing in the inner fender on the side of the screw and not the screw.



Please advise before I do some stupid things.

 

You could always just shave that clip off entirely and use a zip-tie or two to hold the rear bumper cover in place.

 

What offset are you running?



A couple of options; each more extreme than the next;

1) Shave down the clip
I shaved mine right down to the screw, it was ok

2) Negative camber

3) Try to roll fenders, is tough with the Fit because of the plastic front & back bumpers coming up so high on the wheel wells

4) Buy a 195/40/R17 tire
This is what I did when I had a similar situation

5) Scrap the rim all together and get a +45 of higher 17" rim

 

Thanks for the advise... I think I will try the number 1.

 

Oh I try to fold them and it works! Problem solve!

17x7 | 205/40/17 <-- FIXED!

 

What's the offset on your wheels?

On a related note - what wheels are they, and do they come in 16's? They look good . . .

 

raise it up, add some neg camber, or suck it up and just drive.

what is the offset of the wheels? i have the same size wheels and tyres with +41 offset and rarely rub. only when people are in the back seat
