shane42 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I lowered my car with the ford racing springs that drop it 1.25" and put the 20" super snake wheels with 295x35x20 tires on the rear, the problem I'm having is when I'm driving if the is a bump in the road the rear tire rubs the fender. It just barely rubs. What can I do to raise the ride height just about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch? what about using a spring rubber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane42 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 car 2007 GT500 and I just changed the springs only and left the stock shocks on the rear, also I put an adjustable panhard bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbackg Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 295x35 are approx 28.1" tall. What brand of tire? Every tire manufacture is slightly different. I have the same suspension setup on my super snake. The super snake stock rim/tire set up is 27.7" tall. You should only be getting very little tire rub. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/topic/55653-bigger-rear-tires/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrakRat Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yes, I think that is why the Super Snakes only come with 275's out back. The Alcoa wheels have a great flush appearance but that limits how wide of a tire you can put on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slabo Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 The Envo's seem to run taller than other brands which is not helping your situation. You could always go the wheel widening route. Several threads on widening the Alcoa's. Then run wider tire like a 305/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertt305 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Probably needs an adjustable pan hard bar... Your rear end isn't probably centered.. I run 325/50/15's which is a 28 inch tall tire and mine doesnt rub with the pro kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
