Rubbing Problem
 
I have a 98 Camaro and i just bought 98 vette "Wagon wheels" a few weeks ago... Just got a chance to put them on dismorning and the backs rub like a bytch... The fronts only when I turn the wheel all the way... I know people put much wider tires on there cars(wagon wheels r only 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 back)...just wanted to know how to fix this. Also I was told that because its a camaro and not a vette that i should put 275/35's on the back and they r 275/40's on there now...could that be the problem? or do i need spacers...and if i do how much? please help me out...just got these wheels on and i cant even enjoy them

what size tires are on the wheels now? front and rear respectively

245/45/17 on front...275/40/18 on backs...someone told me i can cut out the bump stops and that should fix the problem

Finding out where and why the rubbing is happening is the first step in correcting it. Go out and see where it is rubbing

rubbing is on the inside of the tire...i think on the bump stop

I had to dent in my inner fenders in the rear to run the vette rims....try check for rub marks in the under coating....bang them in then recoat the area....
