helo! im proton persona kaki.

anybody here has solution about rim sangkut?

recently i had fitted 17" rim (CE28) with 215/45R17 but sad to say dat both the rear tyres sangkut when either more than 2person loaded in car or lalu bump w/o slow down (front tyre is ok, no sangkut).

beside replacing absorber or soil spring, is there any other solution?
 
try using absorber bush....whereby it wraps around the coil springs.

tanz bro!

roughly how much n where can i get it? can i install it by my own? how 2 install? life span?

Bump:
yeah...put 2 for one spring...more stiffer...:proud:

tanz bro!

does it reali work?

can i juz install it at rear absorber only w/o install at front absorber? balance?

after installed could it increase my car height instead of stiffness?

Bump: da rim n tyre...

Bump: photo of da rim n tyre...

ketuk mudguard is yr last resolve, coz maybe the offset is not rite for yr rear wheel....
 
rare size tire bro.....but its also a simple solution, no need ketuk2...
 
the ride high is still balanced, the rubber damper make ur springs more stiffer...
after saw ur car pic, i've wonder...how come that kind of high still can "sangkut"?:hmmmm:

ya bro! standard suspension quite soft, when tyre changed 2 bigger saiz it could sangkut tyre.
mayb 205/40R17 is best suit 4 persona.
