#14777, "I don't get why this is happening"


          

I've had my allingment checked 2 times and i'm sure they balanced my wheels and tires but my tires are wearing wierd as hell. Especially the rear right tire. I switched from my stock 14 inchers to some 17 in. konig subzero's w/dunlop sport a2's, i think 225,50,17. Would going from my 14's to my 17's make my camber screwey? because i didn't lower it?

it shouldnt make a camber difference as long as the wheels (tire to tire) are the same diameter

50 series tires are a bit taller than a stock setup, maybe your tires are rubbing on the fenders and whatnot? That along with the 225s and its very possible you are rubbing.

FYI, for 17" tires a 45 series is closest to stock. Your speedo must be off by at least 5mph.

I have 225/50R16. No rubbing here. Don't know how much of a difference there is from the 17's though.

i think that with the 17" it might rub, i know with mine(225/55/16) it is only about a 1/4" from rubbing, but its lowered. i had a friend with 235/55/16 tires at stock hight and they rubbed really bad.
hey dirty how do you like those 225's?

i got 225/45/17 because that was closest to stock, mine don't rub, they look fine too, when i can scan a pic i will post it.

the only uneven wear i have is from taking sharp turns at high speeds and burnouts.
