Difference between fender rubbing on metal and felt...
Just got my car dropped on H&R Sport springs with 19x11s in the back. I got the fenders rolled, but they may be a fairly conservative roll.
I'm just wondering if there's a way to tell if when I hit a big bump on the freeway if the wheels are rubbing on the metal part of the fender or on the felt? It doesn't sound really bad, just sounds like a quick brushing/ scraping sound. I was thinking maybe a piece of tape to see if it leaves a skidmark. If it rubbed on the metal would it be a jerky motion / loud sound or what? Any input is appreciated, and sorry if this is confusing; i'm not really sure how else to explain this... |

The tape method would work, youll know if youre hitting metal cause you would smell rubber. General tires smells like indian curry. After a while you get used to the rubbing sound or smell.

What offset on those 19x11? If it is less than 27, you should get a proper fender roll. If you stretch your tires a bit, it would help as well.
