Well. Used my 26's today. Anyone have a problem with them rubbing that top sharp piece in the fender well? Looks like a simple fix of just raisin the coilovers but it took a chunk out of my brand new slicks :mad:

That sucks! I had that problem with my street tires so I just raised my coilovers a few turns. Fixed the problem but it never did it to my slicks. Good luck.

Damn you got a lot of questions. Etown. I ran up and down the street a couple times with them. Musta been a little bump or soemthin in the track that made it hit. Ill raise them up a couple see what happens
