Hi, that's my car. Yes im running H&R front camber bolts. And yes i do rub but it happens rarely and only on huge bumps on the road. Are you on coilovers? try stiffening up the suspension. That might help.

^ I'm looking for some tips on how to make these work. I'm running BC's and trying to fit 18x9.5 +44 with 235/40/18's. Advice please - these are the test fits not even a 1/4" front. The camber hasn't been adjusted yet - just looking for suggestions on how to make these work on our 09 wrx sdn

[quote=cmrd18;33890948]Those Federals look really meaty. I had a lot of stretch on my Bridgestone tires. Does it clear the rear struts? Looks like you'll be needing 3mm spacers if you're on stock struts plus a rear fender roll.
I know, I have a set of 18x9 +40 with 225/40/18's for my hatch and I wish I went with a bigger stretch with these 18x9.5 but we need to have some tire under us around here. I'm running BC's - it looks like it clears in the rear just seems to need a camber adj and a fender roll. It's the front that appears to be the biggest problem at this point. |

Are you tucking front tire at all? My front rubbing when turning drives me nuts too. Maybe ill try more camber up front to see if that helps. |

Raised mine about 1/2 inch and no more rubbing wohoo. I was tucking tire in the front so I guess thats why I was rubbing. Going to take some picks this weekend of my new setup. I love being aggressive glad i went with 9.5's

I read somewhere that the light will only be triggered if the sensors read below 26 psi. I assume since mine were not installed, there was never a low psi signal sent to the module, therefore the light never went on. But, that's my case in particular, so I don't know if others will behave the same. I started a thread about this but didn't get an answer. |
