    Hey guys found that my rear tyre is wearing out in an odd way..I think it is brushing against the guard and cuting the tyre deep..it happened after instaling the new rims..what should i do for this..raise the car?? But I dont have adjustable suspension either..

    your rear guard looks pretty much like it's touching the wheels. What are the specs on your tyres? Don't wanna go too big of a profile on an 18 inch

    Or roll the guards as Si suggested ;)

    Edit:

    $1000 :eek:, can be done a lot cheaper than that. No I wouldn't keep driving with it like that.

    of course its bad for the tyre lol,it will slice it and you will get a blow out

    you can always put new springs in,your old ones have probably sagged,new ones will raise it

    well if it's just that tiny bit that's been taken off should be fine but still not that great. You don't have spacers or anything do you?
