K-II rims on Wira SE

[alexscm]

Hey Guys,

I'm new here in this thread...This is the first time posting. However I have a few inquiries that might need your expertise.

I drive a Wira SE, got a set of new rims recently. I have just installed K-II rims...SA-70 (Black with red lining)It's 15". Downgraded from 16" to 15". I'm running on Goodyear Eagle F1 195/55/R15. The problem is, The tyres at the back seemed to brush my rear wheel arch whenever i go over bumbs or over wavy roads especially when there are 2 persons at the back..it'll definately be worse if there are 3 persons at the back. Some told me it's bcoz of my tyres being too thick, some told me it's my rims' offset, some told me it's bcoz of my faulty absorbers...I'm frustrated. which one could it be? I will regret if you guys tell me it's my rims' offset. i spent so much already. But I'm ready to change my absorbers. Some even told me to knock/rollback my wheel arch/fenders to give some clearance. So what is the problem and what will be the right solutions? Please Help????!!!

check whether your absorbers are actually worn out or not. if not, you could "ketuk" your wheel arches so that it doesn't brush against your tires. i had the same problem with my 17"s. but after "ketuk", no more probs.

if ketuk then what damage will it cause?

 

[meltan7]

make sure whoever that does the ketuk, either uses a rubber hammer, or a hammer with cloth. or not, you paint will chip off, if he whacks it too hard, your body panel will dent.

Thanks...but what is after ketuk also i have the same problem? will it be my absorbers?

 

[meltan7]

yeah.. could be that your absorbers or springs are worned out.
