Tire Rubbing

[JoshM]

I've had the 50 series tires before and they rubbed too

Are you sure they're rubbing the rear bumper, and not the rear fenders/wheel wells?

Look I had that same problem and my remedy was to bat the fender and the hack its simple...
1: grab a wooden bat yes a bat
2: place the bat in between the tire and the fender
3: tell someone to drive back and front slowly
4: when the bat gets pressure the inner lip will start to bend
That was the thing I did. And my car sits on 18 and nothing goes bad when I got people

GOod luck and be careful

Sounds like you need to find smoother roads and smaller friends.

I think the problem is the actual rear fender/wheelwell is too close not the bumper itself

Hey all you CB7 lovers out there I have a delimma and need your assistance. About 3 years ago I bought ASA 16" rims with 215/50R-16 tires for my CB7. 2 years ago I installed all new KYB GR-2 shocks and sturts. Recently, I bought new tires at 215/60-16. Ever since I've changed to the 16" rims the tires have been rubbing against the rear bumper when I roll hit a bump or espeailly when I have people in the back seat. Is there anything I can do to reduce or eliminate this problem without getting a better suspension.

do yo u have coilovers or what?

Guys, seriously.. he's running 215/60/16's on his CB7.. that's why he's rubbing in the rear

The overall diameter of our stock tires (195/60/15) is 24.2". The overall diameter of your tires (215/60/16) is 26.2".

Throw half a bump stop in each of the rear struts and call it a day.. or, buy tires that are meant to fit your car.

Yea get smaller tires like everyone is saying a 50 series, I'm running a 185/60/R15 and they rub when I have people in the back. I'm going to take that advice for the 50 series. Hope it helps.
