1981 Camaro Tire Rub!
This camaro has some pretty big tires on the back of it & the rear quarters are rubbing into the tire. Passenger is so bad the gouges look either 1/8 or 1/4" DEEP...
What is the best thing for me to do without having to take the tires off? The car looks great, But I just can't hit a small bump in it!
Thanks for any suggestions. Leaf's in the back, just an FYI
Thanks again!

only real opitons are a cheap back spacing and replace wheels with proper back spacing. or narrower rim. other not so good ideas is they used to make a lift shackles to get a rake to run bug tires or air shocks
as a side note i have gm ralleys that would go on there real nice with a slightly narrower tread with

You might be able to roll the inner fender lip enough to clear. Can you post a closeup pic of the fender? (with car on the ground) Rolling the lip may only be a short term bandaid but at least you might stop the tire knifing. As stated in the above replies, more 'up', or more ''in' are the REAL answers.

EXTENDED shackles;
Back in high school I had a '56 Ford Fairlane. HAD to have that California look so I built a pair of 10" shackles and got the BIG rake stance. Talk about ill handling :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
