HELP new rims rubbing front inner guards

[Paw-DK]

my situation is when i have my new set of 14x9 -19 on the front with 195 g3s it rubs like hell in the inner guard or behind the tyres
my old rims where 14x7 0 offset on 185s and had no scrubbing issues at all with these rims
my car has powersteering arm knuckles, xt130 LCA, cusco camber tops (dunno if it the normal or low caster version) and sitting low with 8kg coilovers
i don't have an aftermarket tension caster rods just the standard ae86 ones
don't know if the innergaurd has being taking out, being rolled or anything bashed in

soo what do you guys reckon is the problem...
do i need more castor if so how do i adjust the standard rods and can someone hint me on where the tension rod is haha (providing pics)
would putting a spacer anywhere help
or would my friend mr big arse hammer come in play :lol:

if you guys need anymore info please ask and any sort of help would be much appreciated :2thumbs:
its just rubbing like crazy have a look at the pic5 (difference in full lock)
and would it be safe to drive as in would anything be in damage??
(pictures are of the old rims at full lock, new rims at MAXIMUM lock, where it rubs and which ones the tension rod lol)

cheers vince

EDIT: noticed u edited yoru psot about pics,



so are u saying they only rub on full lock?

[driftism]

I think your problem is with your rims...

you are never going to get as much lock with 9's as you are with 7's

have you bashed in that lip of metal on the inside of the gaurd on the door side?

where is it rubbing exactly?

yeh as sam said bash that seam flat and remove the bolt that holds in the inner guard... there is one directly in the way

and then wind the castor rods right foward and get a wheel alignment

and if ur still running the plastic inner guards u will need to trim a ridge out of it at the front edge...u will see which bit i mean when u drive it in a straight line and it rubs over bumps...

have u removed the lock stoppers on the xt130's? by the look of it they wouldn't be quite hitting yet but mine used to so i ended up grinding them completely off

Remove the inner guard completely then take it to a wheel aligner and get them to dial as 3.5 degrees of castor into it. It looks like you are running little or negative castor!

You will need to modify the front bottom of the guard to clear the tyre afterwards by cutting it.

9J is a bit too wide for the front, 8.5 is about as far as you would want to go so you don't have problems with lock and clearance, especially if you have powersteering arms.

i have 9 inch wheels with 205 tyres and i have as much lock as is possible without moving the steering rack foward
and ive managed to get everything to clear... ive even got 4.5 deg pos castor... altho i have got 20 mm wider front guards

and standard castor is usually between 2 and 2.5deg pos...
