I need some serious advice. I bought some 225/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1's Allseasons for my Pegs and I love em to death. Problem is they are rubbing like mad. The front's seem ok, they only rub a little on lock to lock. I was expecting that, and that can be avoided. The back however is not looking so good. I just got back from a road trip to find a 2 inch piece missing from the right rear tire! The left is only rubbing on the inside; the tire looks ok but it is tearing up my wheel well. The right is worse, for some reason the outside of the tire is making crazy amounts of contact with the fender and getting beat to ****. What should I do?

I can't really afford new tires and am looking for a different solution. The car has Bilsteins right now, and some type of aftermarket spring (all from the PO). Should I swap those out, and what should I get that will fix this? Can I roll the fenders or have a shop roll them, cause I really don't even know what rolling fenders means?

Any other solutions?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 

The 18" wheels and 225/40-18 tires are your problem. I had 225/45-17s on one of my S70s. The fronts were never a problem but the rears would rub on the outside edges when the rear suspension bottomed out over bumps. I replaced these tires with 215/45-17s and no rubbing at all. Pegs (or any 18" wheels) are not a wheel that was designed for a P1 S/V70 so the offset of the Pegs are probably part of the problem. Some folks have successfully installed 18" wheels and tires on these cars with spacers.
