    Default problem with coilover rubbing off tyre

    I have rota grids on my s14 and hsd coilovers I've noticed on the passenger side the shock is eating into the tyre the wheels are 9.5 wide and have 225 tyres I've tryed putting 3mil spacers and didn't work makes it worse ,so do I cut a lump out of the coilover or get new wheels?

    Its unusual to do it on one side, was there any damage/repair done to that side, more negative offset wheels would solve it, I wouldnt like the idea of cutting into the coilover, the tyre will eventually cut into so be careful, I be looking at the arms and hub first to see is everything straight.

    Should'nt rub unless the offsets are shocking bad, check what jay said also!

    Get 20mm bolt on spacers also?

    It's the same on both its the tyre on the left side,well I checked yesterday the wheel is 1mil away from the spring and I must hit the spring adjusters when movement happens ,I'm thinking on buying a set of xxr 527in Matt black they are 8.25 on the front not 9.5 there is not much space due to being so low,20mil spacers wouldn't work would rip off the wing?

    As Kruizer said sounds like a camber problem try adjusting. Or run 215s and something like a 10mm spacer
