PP wheels on Base GT Rubbing

[bobbyh]

yea i noticed this morning when i was reversing out of my driveway. when i had the wheel all the way turned and began reversing slowly./ when i started moving it felt like the car was hopping up front. i dont realy know how else to describe it. i had my brother reverse the car doing the same thing while i watched and it looked like the car was going over a bump despite the road being completely flat. the sound it made was also very similar to a hydraulic lift clicking as it passes over each groove. now if the wheel is not cranked all the way there are absolutely no issues with the car so i have no idea what this is

I can't help much but when I am driving in reverse on my stock suspension WRX with the wheel cranked it feels exactly like a jumping/hopping that you describe, usually worse on asphalt driveways.

I have had a few cars feel the same way in a reverse turn

It has to do with the suspension geometry and caster/camber/toe settings; basically the car is scraping/skidding.

Luckily in reverse it's normal and won't harm anything.

I too bought PP wheels but have not put them on yet. Still running the stock base 18's since the car is stored for winter.

Going to put PP wheels on in May when it starts to warm up. Wondering if I'll have the same issue.

It's not the PP wheels , it's the PZERO summer tires that are on them .
