  • 315's rubbing-ok to pound in?

    In response to my thread a few down, my 315 nittos are rubbing. They are scrapping the inner fenderwell in 2 spots. The lower one looks like it would be easy to bend in a bit to avoid rubbing but the upper one looks like it has something behind it. The driver side(picture below) is worse than the passenger side. Is it ok to hammer those spots in a bit or should I go about this another way?



    Thanks,
    Eric

        BFH to the rescue, then get some 3M under coat spray from Autozone and cover it up.

            My 275's were rubbing in the same exact spots.
            Until I got a big hammer and 3m undercoat.

            It will definitely WILL take some elbow grease.
            100 or more hits to each side easily.

                Thanks for the quick replies guys. I pounded each side in and I think I should have it, but I'll double check tomorrow. I got them pounded in in time to make it for ice cream so that was a huge bonus to the test drive.

                            I've got 315/35/17 Nitto 555R Drag Radials on 17x9.5 speedline ZO6 wheels. I was hesitant running the 315's on a 9.5 wheel, but it seems that nittos run a little skinnier. I'm not sure on the offset/back space but they are factory ZO6 front wheels if that helps any.
                            here's the mild bulg on the 9.5

                              If it is taking 100 hits to get that fixed, sounds like someone needs a bigger hammer
