Rubbing Rims

73impala · 11-13-2008, 06:07 PM

currently i have 22 inch rims on my 73 impala and i also have a 5 inch lift on it and it still rubs, i am looking to upgrade them to 24s i have herd some ppl say that 24s dont rub and the have either a 3 or no lift. so i was wondering if anyone knew how not to have them rub please let me now.

The rubbing is due to one of two possible problems.
1) the rims are wider than the original set up.
2) the overall tire height is taller than the original set up and when you turn real sharp the extra height also translates to the tire being too close to the frame.
