Toe seems out of line after painting wheels.

Marcadelic · 05-13-2015, 04:15 PM

Recently painted my wheels and took the faces off to make sure they were done right. Once I put the wheels back on both of the rear seems to be sitting a little inwards like the toe is off even though the suspension wasn't touched. Anyone have any idea what could have caused this?

It may have been there before? The way the wheels in rear sit, it pretty much always looks like the wheels are pointed inward. I thought I had an issue with mine but the alignment specs showed the toe as fine. It's just the way the quarter panel flares. Some others on the forum have posted about it as well.

The only way you would mess up from taking the faces off is if they were bolted back on crooked which is pretty much impossible.

Nah somethings up, I have my presets on my airride and they were perfect before I took the wheels off and now I'm rubbing like crazy and I can definitely feel a difference when I'm driving. It's so weird.

the day before I'm supposed to leave for sowo too
