Suspension question on Accent RX-S

[RoCkie]

Hi Chris,

I'm not too sure on the width of the rims... i'll give it a check later...

But looking at ur point, somehow it does seriuosly match the scenario here...
When the foreman install the rims and tyres on.. they "highly" recommend to install the spacer... (blue color round plate that fit nicely to the centre socket of the rim)
then only install the rims onto the car. The foreman claim that the spacer will improve the stability of the wheels, as the rims are now more fitted tightly.
The workshop fellas claim that they have install 15" rims onto other Hyundai Accent from them as well and none complaint about this problem...
I've check the inner part of the fender but i'm not sure whether is there any mark or indication of contact with the tyre b4...
i'm considering to "slim down" the width of the fender inner part to avoid any possible contact with the tyre... not too entirely sure whether is that the right thing to do onot...

[RoCkie]

[vyndicator]

Honking is not a problem but banging would... :rolleyes:

Well, what about those spacers? Any improvement after removing them? What about knocking the fenders?

 

[RoCkie]

Not yet try to remove the spacer though.... been very busy recently.... knocking the fender... sounds crazy for me.. coz my DIY is no good at all....

Hi guys,

My fren just bought the accent rx-s and he just changed the rims from the original 14" to 15" 195/55/15. Suspension is still stock standard.

The problem is, now when he fetch 2 ppl at the back, the tyres will scrape the fender when going on uneven roads or when taking hard corners.

I think the suspension is too soft on this car. Any recommendations on what kind of suspension is good for this car?

Anybody else have this problem?

thanks.
