Hello, I have a 79 camaro. Like my 1980 camaro, the outer wall of the rear tires rub the lip of the 1/4 fenders whenever I go over speed bumps, etc. This cuts into the tires and makes them look like junk. I have 255-60-15's on 9 inch wide centerlines. The car has air shocks. Does anyone sell a rubber bumper type device that would go between the frame and rear end housing to restrict the rear end from slamming up there and keep this from happening. I know that such would cause a rougher ride and be a less than ideal situation, but I do not want to start changing wheels and/or reducing tire sizes. I would actually like to step up to 275's. I would be willing to put new leafs or shocks in if that helps. I also read somewhere about rolling in the lips of the wheel wells. That does not sound like something that I would want to do, unless it is easier than it sounds. Help, Thanks. :eek:

i got 275/60-15 on 8" standard offset cragar 5-star rims and dont have a problem.i do have new leaf springs and new shocks.i dont know of any thing you could stick back there to limit the travel.good luck

See exactly here the rubbing is happening and you'll get a clue as to how to proceed. My 70 had a problem in the front and button headed allen screws helped there. The bolt head was round and shallow enough to keep from gouging my tires on hard corners.
