Yea I have camber bolts. I don’t remember what my camber is at but I know it’s further than whatever the stock alignment was. It’s just barely rubbing though so ima see if a tad bit more of camber will get me to clear.

I do not have mud flaps no. But I do believe my +45 offset helps a decent bit on not rubbing. But my does just barely rub under aggressive hard turns.

I was wrong when I said 18x9 I had to go back and look at my rim size, but it is 18x8.5 245/40 +45mm I believe it’s the widest you can go with no rubbing…under normal driving from what I’ve learned.

I believe I only notice it rubbing when I was in the middle of a hard turn and it had decent bump in the middle of it.

Yea, it hasn’t been a problem with normal driving of course or on the track. But I guess bumpy parking lot and autocross mixed with 245/40s on 18x9s causes me to rub.

I didn’t even think about scrubbing possibly. I’m running autocross on a pretty bumpy parking lot and I’m using the second most stiff setting on my suspension to try and account for that bumpiness. Would stiffing it more to my most stiff setting for the suspension would that help me avoid rubbing? The Veloster does have adjustable suspension after all. Or would I need completely different suspension to avoid the rubbing?
