Ihave 17 x 11's on the back of my 2000 Transa AM,
Just put the SLP level 1 suspension kit, lowered it a little, but now on hard turns the inside of the tire rubs the wheel well..

Any suggestions on what to do...
Should I bang the wheel well in a bit or have it cut and squared off?


Thanks All

If it's not rubbing too much, just beat it in with a hammer. I've done that on my Mustang and my brother's Camaro with no adverse effects.

Yeah, I think I am going to try that.. Just a pain in the butt.

Just beat it with a hammer. Where it rubs, it should have rubbed away part of the undercoating giving you a nice target area :D

I used a 3 pound sledge to adjust mine. Also check the LCAs for rubbing. I rubbed on those before I rubbed on the inner fender. I'm running 335s.

an adjustable panhard bar will fix this and put your rear back into center

when you lowered your car the rear moved off center...hang a nut from a string and hang it over the rear wheel well opening and check the distance between the string and the center of the wheel...(check both sides) if its off by more then an 1/4" you need an adjustable panhard bar

good luck
