New 255/30/19s 8.5 on the front? Do I need to return them? (Still New) Tell me if I'm crazy.

Ive got 255/35/19s 9.5 on the rear. Those look ok.

Secondly, Before I bought new wheels, I hit a curve and suddenly my front wheels started to rub. I uploaded 2 photos of under the front end and a side view of where it is rubbing.

If it is my lower control arm that needs replacement, any idea where I can order one? I have been looking just in case and I cant find any.

 

Hard to say just looking at the pics. But I noticed that the sway bar is riding in the bushing different than it was. See the wear/clean area that is no longer in the bushing area?

Is the car steering wheel straight ahead when you took this pic? If so, something is bent for sure. Or either you had the wheel slightly turned when you took the pic, but it still looks very close to the fender lip.

Yeah the steering wheel was straight when I took it. Also I do see the clean part on the sway bar. I tried loosening the screw so I could readjust it but it would move. Do you think the Lower control is bent then?

 

Looks bent to me .....
I assume only the left wheel is rubbing ?
Hope it didn't also bend the sub-frame ......

 

Yeah, only the left wheel rubbing. lol about the sub-frame I hope not. Is that even repairable?

 

Everything is repairable, it's just the cost factor that has to be considered ....

 

To be honest with you, I like your positivity towards this, Im stressing out but at least I can now relax for the fact that it can be repaired. I would spend every bit just to get back on the road. Love this car too much!

 

I am assuming you bought the new wheels because you destroyed the left front one, right ?
I can't see how the lower support could be bent that bad without the wheel being toast ...

 

I have done a bunch of tires, that seems too big to me, I did 255 with a spacer, wider wheels and 18 low profile. Woody 19??? dont think so. Woody

Driver wheel sits back a bit in either case, not bent from here.W
