Hold on, elaborate for me.Lol how hard do you push? Are you accelerating hard out of corners? Do you track or autocross? It's basic physics, you are altering the scrub radius significantly going from +60 to +35mm, you're changing the steering geometry.
In regards to rubbing, you may not get under your conditions, but under full compression you will almost certainly get rubbing.
What do you mean full compression? You mean blowing out your dampers?
For the record, I drive my car pretty hard. I have a really heavy foot when braking, accelerating, and I take corners and long sweepers to the point where I scare myself at times. I have never rubbed. In fact, there is almost a 2" gap from my tire to the fender. I have even gone over speed bumps really hard without seeing them and still haven't rubbed.
So, where in the hell can you possibly rub, especially with our stiff suspension?
And yes, you're changing the steering feel, not geometry. You are changing the way the car performs with anything aftermarket. But rubbing with an 8.5" wheel and +35 offset? Not even close.
Sorry I came across a bit too harsh. I apologize, but some of the stuff I hear is so wrong and counter-intuitive to performance that I wonder if people even know what they are talking about.
I sometimes think that people on these forums are spreading the wrong information on purpose, or to sell a product.....especially when it comes to performance. (not talking about you, but others...they know who they are)
This is the same exact setup. 8.5", 18", +35 offset. Nobody rubs with this setup, racing, normal driving, etc..
I have also seen people driving with this setup, slammed on coil-overs, still no rubbing.
