Do you have an adjustable panhard rod, is it set up correctly? How wide are the rims and what offset are they?

I'm running 235/30/20's all round. Rear guards cover the tyre. All I did was pump n rolled guards. Also depends on the wheel offset.

yeah it has an adjustable panhard rod and the wheels were fitted by a shop and wheel alignment done so it should be set up correctly, the rims are 20x8.5 not sure of the offset, if the new tyres still scrub ill just sell them and get a set of 19" ssv series 2wheels but id rather the 20's

-How rolled are your guards, fully folded? -Which side is it scrubbing on? Mine are 20x8s so youve got an extra 1/2 inch width there... mine are 45 offset. 42-45 is best for vl im told.... This is how ive worked the best way to setup a panhard rod... When you lower VLs, the diff shifts to the right. The same thing happens when the car goes over bumps and people sit in the car, the suspension is compressed, and the diff shifts to the right. So, if you take the springs out off the car... the car cannot go any lower then this point so is out baseline. Adjust the rod so that the rims on the left side so it is as close to the guard as possible. This way, when you go over bumps and people sit in the car, the diff shifts across to the right which is where u have all your room and no scrub = happy days
