Go to this link:

Then select the "Suspension" album.
On there, there should be two pictures of a tire that I had problems with.
Does it look familiar?

Worse? Damn, I can't imagine much worse than how mine was looking. Mine has a nice ring all around it that can flip up. If you reach under there with your hand you can really tell why it does it too.

BlackDakRacer, you sorta aren't supposed to really notice. I know the pictures from Hotchkis aren't the most descriptive.
I shall give you a demo in paint!

Hey, it sound kinda Fordish cutting up and beating the hell out of your fender like that, but it works.

LMAO.. damn dude that paint drawing is awsome.. lol.. i had the same problem with my 3/5. stock tires would rub the plastic.. so i ripped it out. then they rubbed the metal.. so i went to a lower profile tire.. then the A-arms scraped the road. then i got into an accident.. put my 20's on.. and somehow i have no problems (after i took a BFH to that pesky f'kin lip)
