Take a closer look and check if your car seems to be lower on the driver side, look at it from a distance, also your gonna have to roll your fenders(both rear), its weird how my front tires are hella close from the fender but yet dont rub at all, and the rear ones do, your gonna have to roll them before you drive with more than 2+ passengers. The more weight there is in the back seats, the more it will rub

Figured yall would rub sooner or later. Sounded to good to be true that low and beefy tire to not rub

Its all good after rolling fenders

...

TDavis · 07-06-2014, 11:52 AM

Yeah, I'd prefer not to have to modify my fender in order to fit tires.

sleepyalero · 07-06-2014, 12:22 PM

Rolled fenders look awesome. Shame on you tanner.

TDavis · 07-06-2014, 12:42 PM

Shame on me for not wanting to be HeLLaFluSh.

I carry 4 passengers from time to time so I can't afford to have rubbing issues, let alone needing to roll my fenders just for that occasion.

sleepyalero · 07-06-2014, 12:44 PM

Haha you are pretty confident
Idk..... I like randys alot better. But yeah yours is nice.

Id say I have the best alero on this site! (There only like 5 on here

)

Well.. aside from mfullers but I consider us quite even... though his engine bay is much cleaner then mine.

TDavis · 07-06-2014, 12:52 PM

BTW your fronts probably do rub but it doesn't eat the tire because the edge of the front fender inside the wheel well isn't as thick as the rears so your front, IF it rubs, is rubbing against the splash guard because the fender is only like 1/8" thick compared to the inner part on the rear which is a little over a inch maybe. Not to mention the front springs are stiffer so you don't have as much bounce on them.

sleepyalero · 07-06-2014, 01:20 PM

I carry 1 person. I dont like more then 2 people in my car (me + 1) just how I am.

If I can carry 4 passengers in a coupe I'm sure a sedan will be no different.

You're dragging around 3 other people in your car? Tell those plebs to get a car and a job.

TDavis · 07-06-2014, 08:44 PM

It's mainly when my sister comes to visit with her friends and I have to pick them up at 2am since they're a little tipsy.

Pontiac_guy99 · 07-06-2014, 08:45 PM

I got my CAI installed finally. Hopefully no water issues.

But I also painted my calipers and drums. Uhh...

Calipers

Drums

TDavis · 07-06-2014, 08:46 PM

Never understood why people paint the drums any other color then black.

Didn't have black paint, and wanted all 4 brake setups to match. I am a bit OCD about this stuff.
