Hi Guys

I am just thinking on putting a little big tyre set for the b210 just like 165/70-13 or 165/80-12 but currently i am using 155/80-12 yet sometimes the tyre is touching the shock absorber while hard turning ,what should be the solution for this how can i sort out this issue ?

thanks
regards

Sounds like wheel bearings are shot, jack up front of car ,grab wheel top & bottom,push & pull. Should be almost no movement.

Maybe, but I think any flex happening [at contact patch] would have corrected itself by the time it got to shock absorber body [180 degrees away], even on this rocket.

Sounds like something not right there. Is this on 120y or the b310?

Yes, something is WRONG.

In a stock B210, there is no possible way this can occur. The stock 4x12" wheel positions the tire far, far away from the strut tube.

* Wheel: 4x12" +30
* Tire 155SR12

Hi Guys
