Rep Power: 419

Hi Guys/Gals,

I had a thought a while back about tire rubbing due to turning. I will be running 225/45-17's soon. My 215/45-17's allready rub a little while turning, but I can consciously avoid it by not turning so hard.

My question is... Is it possible to modify the steering rack to turn less? I.E. modify it in such a way so as to turn as much as possible, but not too much to rub?

thanks for any tips/ideas/comments...

1. Raise the car
2. Adjust the alignment
3. Why get tires that will make the car slower?

Please expand on #3...

225/45/17 is larger than the stock diameter by enough that it matters. It will alter your final gearing in such a way that the car will accelerate slower than it already does. Your overall top speed will increase, but that doesn't do much good.

Anyone else know how to modify the steering rack to prevent the tires from rubbing?

Boilermaker1: the answer to your question is cornering.

Just redo your alignment (more camber) and get stickier tires. You don't need wider ones.
