275/50/15 bfg on welds rubbing???

[lib87t]

I got 275/50/15's DR's on 15x8 weld pro stars and when I get the car on a bind it rubs the wheel well moulding on the drive side bad to a point where it wrinkles it up on the inside. If I sit in the car and someone pushes down on the bumper the wheels tuck under the quarters but what must be happening is the axle got a alittle play sise to side and the side wall of the tire hits the moulding. Will a air bag on the driverside help or what should I do, I don't want it ruining my quarter panel?

Air bags are a must. It has been mentioned previously that the MT 275/50s are wider than the other 275/50s out there. Also, what is the back spacing on your 15x8 wheels?

I found the 3.5" BS works best on 15x8 wheels.
Definitely get a pair of air bags. They will help keep the fender trim off the tire, but I do recommend you roll your fenders for proper clearance. Get two air bags and not one as only one will have the car sitting uneven for cruising. Do a search as there are tons of posts about rolling the fenders. There's even a tool that you can rent from one of our board members and roll them yourself.

they got 4inch BS, how hard to roll fenders?

welds only come in 3.5" and 4.5" bs unless you add a spacer.

Ok i put the air bag on the Driver side and no rubbing with 10lbs air in it.

I have custom GN wheels 4 1/8 backspacing with 2" drop 275/50 no rubs, no bags.

That seems to be the perfect backspacing, also the same one used by dennis kirban on his gnx rims.
