Setup:
KW V2
17x7 ET40 wheels
215/45-17 tires
5mm H&R spacer (otherwise rub the spring perch by about 2mm)
Drop is ~12.25 axle center to wheel arch apex. [edit]

So my front tires rub the inside of the fender/wheel arch ONLY under suspension compression (driving straight and/or turning). The inside of the black trim and felt liner is worn thin a couple of spots. The tires seem none the worse for the encounter.

Options I'm considering:
205 width tires (will also eliminate the need for the spacers)
Raise the suspension ~0.75inch - would really rather not do this
Live with it.

Any thoughts?

 

In my opinion, you are a little too low.

 

live w it. or raise it a bit. or change the camber

 

Yeah, my thoughts are trending in this direction. <sigh>

I thought about changing the camber, but I don't think it would prevent rubbing while in a loaded turn.

 

It slightly would to an extent, but probably not enough, unless its a very slight rub.... Then you may be back in spring perch territory too...

 

I rub, although probably a bit worse than you. I run 18x8 et 27 up front and only rub on harder bumps. I have the stock camber. If your suspension has camber plates, you can add a small amount of camber (check clearance inside by the suspension) to eliminate it. I guess Ive just learned to live with it. lol
