I love my X fire and the way it handles now that it's lowered. I noticed, however, than when I back up and turn the wheel, that the front tires scrub on something. Will spacers up front remedy this situation? Anyone else notice this on a 1" drop? Finally, is it hard to keep the front tires balanced when rubber is constantly getting shaved off the front tires. I noticed vibrations between 55mph and 65 mph even thought I have had the fronts balanced again recently. Vibration comes and goes.

 

If you remove, or even jack up the front end, you'll see that you're rubbing at the front of the wheel well-no robber sacrificed.

 

there is a pesky little bolt that you may be rubbing...look inside the wheel well, and see if the bolt now has a shiny little head on it...

 

Mine rubs the liner when backing up at full turn. I checked and it is not hurting anything.
Be sure to check to see where the contact is. If it's just the liner it is not really a dangerous situation.

 

So rubbing against the body portion of the inner fender on the right side. Paint coming off the inner fender. Looks like I can just pound that part of the fender in, and out of the way.

Had to take the wheel off to have the rim straightened and discovered the paint missing.

 

Disconnect the battery first if your going to hammer. You don't want the airbags to deploy.
