have any of you guys had contact between the tire and the plastic liner behind it on the rear wheels? i have 19" aza'a and my car is pretty low. when i hit big dips/bumps, i get this "swish" sound and i couldn't figure it out. i have my fender lips massively cut, so i was lost trying to find the culprit, until i discovered what looks like contact with the liner. i have removed the two rear liners and hope that this ends the sound. anyone else have this happen?

How much of a drop do you have? I have a 3/8" front drop and a 1/2" rear drop with 19's... So far I haven't had any inner well rubbing issues... Did you have a cradle adjustment and alignment done?

I've heard it on mine with stock 18"s, but never just over bumps. Only if I get stupid squirrelly sideways I hear contact.

RR bushings? on the rear bro, not the front. i have full suspension anyway. so far, i have had no scrape now that these REAR liners are off. and yes... my car is pretty damn low.

Thanks for the info in the PM...
You have x-member bushes, correct? Ive heard that those help with clearence a bit. Also, you could try and get 3-5mm machined off of the AZA hub for increased offset.

Damn...
You should consider the milling thing, since taking too much lip off can mess with the integrity of the quarter panel. If you are taking the wheels off, could you measure how thick the hub is? Depending on how thick, I can determine if some can be taken off, and how much.

I have it on my driver side rear. It's from the M/T 275's I run at the track.
