rubbing at high speed

zerep1 · 09-20-2011, 10:58 AM

now i thought it might have been a balance issue but the the fact that i had the tires replaced i think they balanced them and a alignment was done
basically i dont have and shake at 60, but at 75 and above its starts to shake like a balancing problem now since i went with a 275 rear and coil overs im wondering if the speed is causing me to rub and it gets worse the faster i go and dont rub unless i got weight in the car. i feel like the noise rubbing would make get drowned out by the wind noise

do you have some spacers on?

The shaking could be from various reasons. Have you checked your torque on your lug nuts? If so, the wheels could be slightly out of balance. I would recommend getting them Road Force Balanced.

As far as the rubbing issues, the 275 rear is causing the rubbing issues most likely because of the lowered height. Less distance between the tire and fender well as well as compression are causing the rub at higher speeds.

no i dont got spacers what is the torque 88-97lb? ima try re torque them to spec and no i dont have spacer they are et30 with kw v1 at preset height i hope to get my fenders rolled soon

update: gave my rear tires an over look and apparently the guy forgot to take off a and old small weight that i dont think would have come up on the roadforce balance since took it off but at 100+mph plus made a difference took it for a test drive and very little vibrations now
