Issue with front swaybar rubbing tire

[StrongFord]

Are those new wheels? I'd double check the offsets.

I also recall someone posting that older FP sway bars have no bumps to stop sliding in the brackets. Not sure on that.

offset is +35mm on the wheels. Yeah that's why i got a set of locks to prevent them sliding around

So strange. My car has a few different parts but its pretty similar. (steeda geometry correcting control arms and bumpsteer, 5mm spacers, camber plates, BMR swaybar not Steeda), but my 19x10"ET35 w/ a 285 gets nowhere near the control arm or swaybar at full lock. Can you give a picture of your steering wheel in that position where it contacts?

You're 100% sure?

Yes they're the SVE SP2 19x10 wheels i purchased from LMR. Their website lists them as +35mm offset

Wheel Specs
Front & Rear:
Size: 19x10
Backspace: 6.88"
Offset: +35mm
Weight: 24.1lbs

Yeah i'll get a pic of the wheel at full lock

Here are some pics

Ok yeah I think my wheel just wouldn't turn that far with the car off. I'll try to get some pics under mine tomorrow.

Thanks. I tried this today with the car on to check, result was the same

Have you verified the offset stamped on the inside of the wheel? I also find it strange there is that much interference. I am also running the steeda lateral links with a 19x11 +50/25mm spacer setup and am no where near that close to touching the sway bar or tension link.

Maybe the steering limiter is different on 18+?

I have a 2018 with the same SVE SP2 19x10 +35 wheels and mine also do not come anywhere near suspension components. Though I don't have the Steeda arms.

I think the wheels somehow are the wrong offset. Manufacturer error? Second what Albert said; check the offset stamped on the inside of the wheel.

Even if stamped correctly they could be machined wrong. I would put a straight edge on the back of the wheel and measure to the hub face surface.

Lots of room for error here. 1 - A tires fitted makes getting a clean value difficult. 2 - Official wheel widths don't include the flanges, so the value you measure/calculate will not match the expected/advertised offset.

Though this will tell you if there are significant wheel to wheel differences.
