Taller Tire

[CAMAROWITHBASS]

I have Bridgestone Potenza P45/50 R16 tires right now in the car, i plan to replace them soon.

The problem is that my car scrapers everywhere!!! The part that scrapes is that black thing under the car.

It even scrapes going up and down my drive way.

Can i get a taller tire so it wont scrape as much? but still keeping the stock rims? i dont want a real real tall, just enough so that it wont scrape with a car full of passengers.

That black thing is your Air Dam under the Radiator. Mine is chewed to hell because of all the times it scraped on the ground.
Maybe front tires from a tractor trailer will work, although there isn't anything I can think of that wouldn't make your car look like it got b*tch slapped.
Take the black thing off and your car will overheat, so my suggestion is to deal with it the best you can. I don't like hearing that god-awful scraping, but I haven't figured out a fix for it yet.

You really shouldn't complain... If you think its bad try driving a C5 for a while... our cars will clear things like 4x4 trucks in comparison to vettes! (Dad gots one, man I swear I scrape everything with it...)

There really isn't anything you can do but adapt your driving to keep from scraping. If you're going over speedbumps and scraping, get some better shocks or drive slower [img]smile.gif[/img] Driveways should always be taken at angles etc etc.

The good thing is even if it gets torn up its only ~$10 to replace.

It's even worse when your car is lowered like mine. :mad:
