I participated in a HPDE at Infineon Raceway today. I run 18x11 rear CCW road race wheels with 305/35/18 Toyo RA1's in the rear and when I took them off today I noticed that I had some pretty good size gouges on the inside of the tires right above the rim on both wheels. Goes the entire circle of the tires.
Now my car is lowered in the rear with only a -1.0 camber alignment. The rear leaf spring sits really close to the inside of the rear wheels and during hard cornering it starts to shread my rear tires. I have rubber on the ends of my leaf springs.
Has anyone had this issue? What would happen if I shaved a little off the end of my rear leaf spring? How much will it affect my spring rate? I am looking for some options. Thanks.
I also want to add that it takes really aggressive driving (on a track) to get the tires to rub. I run 315/30/18 BFG's full time and never had them rub and my Toyo's havn't rubbed until today. My car leans during turns and I am wondering if sway bars will help.
