Tire Rub

[SVTRick]

Trying to cure rear tires from rubbing on drive way back outs. I have a stock 93 cobra with 275 tires on rear. The car has original shocks and springs and 54,000 miles on car. I don t really want to roll the fenders.Looking for the best way to cure .Should I replace springs and shocks? What s the difference in Cobra springs and GT springs. thanks

thats weird...i had stock suspension with 275 with no rubbing.

Sounds like you are running those replica wheels that stick out too far?

They are 8 or 8.5 in Cobra R wheels with 275's.My originals with 255's dont rub.They do not rub hardly ever on normal bumps,just slight turns on an uphill or down on cornering.I'm just trying to something to save the tires. Springs or shocks or air bags a thought.?

The 1993 cobras used the 4 cylinder springs which give more than the gt springs. ???? On what to do to fix the problem

'93 cobra's have a different wheel offset than pretty much every other mustang...putting your 'cobra r' wheels on a '93 with the stock rear end and stock front rotors will typically push the wheels outboard, hence the rubbing
