Default Tire rub marks on......

my Drivers side upper fender well.

Is there an adjustment for that or do I just have to stop making that right turn into my subdivision at 60MPH?

Like these?



There are LOTS of very steep street/driveway transitions here so I cross them at as much of an angle as I can. I assume that is where these come from. My car is lowered. I wish I could stop it from happening. The groove is getting deeper. I might fill it with epoxyonce a year or so to keep it from going through the fender.

I get them also from going airborne or on real bumpy roads.

I agree even before I had installed the 315's up there there were already marks on both sides

I call them marks of distinction! How many cars do you know can make 90 degree turns at 60mph? :D
