quick beyern wheel question

[Insane]

Anybody running beyern"s 19/9.5 on 275/30's in the rear with 5/16 raise drag springs? Wondering if it would rub or would you still have to trim the fenders. I have searched and found nothing with the drag springs.

Anyone?

Im running 18's x 9.5" rears with 275's and cut rear fenders. Solves nearly any tire rub issues.
Note, I have "zero-drop" pedders Street II. Which actually raises the car from the stock "saggy-spring" set-up that comes with the car.
The only thing I could imagine happening is the INSIDE fender might need some pounding due to the camber when the suspension is under full load.
Maybe get some eccentric camber busings in the rear?... I dunno.
I consider myself to be one of the few that acutally HAS cut the rear fenders and put a wider tire in the rear without going to some crazy custom off-set wheel.
With a little tweaking, anything is possible on the rear suspension.
I hope this helps. Cheers.

Anybody else? If so how much? 1/4 inch? My wheels are on the car and they look like they will clear but looks can be deceiving! Tires cost too much to cut them!

If you can find out the wheel offset, a lot more people can offer helpful advice. You can search for threads under "measure offset" that show you how to do this with household tools.

BTW, I personally suggest you don't raise the rear unless you're building a dedicated drag car, because it will mess up your handling. Rolling/cutting and inner fender bashing is the way to go.

The offset is 45mm. The springs are already in and work awesome at the track and makes the rear feel stiffer instead of spungy. the springs set the car's fenderwall gaps the same instead of the awful looking sag! Handling feels alot better to me but I don't ride curves fast anyway.

My guess is that you will need a roll or cut. I have thin-section 275s on 50P wheels and without the roll and -5mm there would have been lip interference. You probably will not have to bash tne inner fender.

There is a guy toms05gto (search) who is doing the rounds on a fender roller for $40 + shipping.

Running the same except with 295's on the rear........did have to have fenders rolled as they rubbed on hard bumps.

running 275/35/18s on 9.5" wide Beyerns (+45mm offset FYI). stock springs/drag bags/cut fenders = no rub. without the bags, i was rubbing on hard launches/shifts.

How much did you cut? Is 1/4 to 5/16 of an inch enough? I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

[whiteboyslo]

i cut fairly deep. couldn't give you an exact measurement at the moment.

but to tell you the truth, looking at the fenders, i don't think i was rubbing where i thought i was when i cut them. i cut them from about 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock. looking at it, the rubbing seems to have happened at about 8 o'clock (looking at the car from the outside, not underneath).

would i have been OK with just the drag bags? dunno since i cut first, but possibly.

i have 19x9.5 rear foose speedsters with 275/35/19, 5/16" pedders raised and rolled fenders. no rubbing with hard launches but have some slight rubbing running 80 - 90+ mph on the freeway with big bumps/deep pavement.

How much are they rolled? Is the slight rubbing coming the outside or the inside of your wheel? Did it cut your tire? Thanks for your response!

Put 5/16 rear drag spring from Pedder's and problem solved.

Already got them! Do the rear quarteers still need to be cut?

i had it at pretty much Agressive rolled, the rubbing is not from the rolled fenders but it is from where that black plastic starts from the inside (i don't have rubbing on the rolled fenders). it did not cut my tire (only the left tire = no rubbing on the right) but just very slight rub on the inside of the left tire ( about 5 mm from the sidewall) and hardly noticeable.
