Tyres hitting sidewall

[Stud_Daddy]

I gatai go and put in 18 inch rims, lowered my car (eibach) and now everytime I go over a bump at an elevated speed the rear tyres screech against the sidewall. So does anyone know any "ketuk" shop in Penang that can do a sort of widebody conversion by ketukking? Rear tyres are 235, front are 225.

It's not ketuking that will solve the sagging. Go check your wheels offset,the dampers too.

Can the normal car tyre/alignment shop do this for me? Or do I have to go to a mechanic?

Ask advise from tyre shop first.

If your tyres are slightly rubbing on the fender lip when you go over bumps (you can check for paint worn off the fender lip to see where rubbing), you can probably get the finders "rolled". I'm not sure who does it here but I saw it done before. The paint of the fenders is heated with a heat gun to soften it so it doesn't crack, then a baseball bat is used between the tyre and fender to gradually bend the lip inwards at the right place, and the right amount. It works.

For more major rubbing then got to ketuk or grind off the lip.
