bump stops

[941LE]

my 17x11s didnt rub with stock springs. only with the lowering springs and it wasnt on the inside where they rubbed. Fenders had to be rolled.

funny how the WS6 cars came factory with a taller bump stop FOR that reason... gues im wrong.... You Need The Stops unless you feel like hitting your wheel wells with the inside edge of the tire.

Do you mean the spacers that extend the bumpstops down longer???? Making the rear axle be stopped/bottomed out earlier than without? Because that makes sense. I guess that applies for launches or hitting bumps when your suspension is squatted in the back the inside top of the tire would probably rub. I thought you meant something like the tire hits the bumpstop just driving around I'm like naw mine don't rub.

Waddyaknow! I just compared the v6 and the ws6, the ws6 bump stops have a little plastic spacer on them.

Hmmm...I've been running WS6 wheels and 275 tires for a few years now and no rubbing. I know a 275 Nitto DR is a little bit narrower than most 275s, but it doesn't seem like it's even close to rubbing anywhere.

My DRs are sitting in the basement right now, you want pictures?

nitto is like running a 265 if not even a bit skinnier. a true goodyear or bfgood 275 or bigger hits the inside of the wheel well Just slightly over big bottom out bumps. since you drive your car like grampa you wouldnt have really bottomed it out enough to scuff the tire. but i bet you take a good look at your under coating and its rubbed.

This is just ignorance on your part, because you don't ride with me so you aren't aware that the car sees WOT and cornering to the limits of tire adhesion every time I drive it. It's one thing to be convinced that you know everything when it comes to hypotheticals, but another altogether to argue against actual facts.
