Tyre rub

[Broyeabro]

Hey guys ive recently put on 235/45 19s on my vs ute and noticed all 4 tyres are rubbing only slightly ive replaced all bushes with nolathanes only couple weeks ago sway links are fine i do need wheel alignment but that doesnt explain the back so would 5mm spacers fix this or any suggestions??? Sorry if this has been covered

what are they rubbing on? guards? struts? inner wheel well?

the tyre size is too big for a start. ideally you want a 235/35 19, 40 profile at the most.

Yea sey front rub is on struts and rear is on inside wheel well

smaller tyres + possibly adjustable panhard rod should sort you out.

im running 234/40/17 on my vr, all you need to do is roll your guards and an ajustable panhard bar..

for the front, wheel alignment should fix it or for a temp fix adjust the camber, if all bushes were replaced then the next step is a wheel alignment straight after (goes for any suspension work where you change anything).

rolling guards wont help him with scrubbing on the strut and the inner wheel wells.

235/45/19 are ~35mm larger radius than a 235/40/17. thats why his tyres rub on everything, because vs commodores werent designed for that tyre size.

for the front, wheel alignment should fix it or for a temp fix adjust the camber, if all bushes were replaced then the next step is a wheel alignment straight after (goes for any suspension work where you change anything).

adding positive camber to fix an issue isnt a good idea, especially when the tyres are the wrong size to begin with.


buy new tyres in the right size, and sell the old tyres.

What Hak said. Tyres are the wrong size for the car. They are the correct size for VE I think.

Buy the correct size and you won't have issues, that and you will have legal tyres as the size you have stated is not a tyre that can be legally fitted to your car.

GOod luck mate.

You should be running 245/35/19.

As for the guy with 17s - you should be running 235/45/17.
