NC Alignment Question due to Rubbing

Post by RickyB964 »

I have a 2006 Miata and I am running a set of Cosmis Racing wheels that are 18 x 9.5 inches. The offset is +38. My tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season, 245/35. I have them on K-Sport coilovers with a 13.5 inch ride height from center of hub to the fender. I am getting some rubbing only when I turn aggressively. As a result, I am thinking that I might need to do an alignment of possibly -2 degrees camber on the front and back and that should eliminate my rubbing issue but wanted to get some input before I do that. Also will I need to modify the suspension with some extensions to do this or can it be done on the stock suspension. I have not seen anybody talk about upper suspension mods so I would assume I do it stock. The car is a street car, but sometime in the future I want to do some occasional autocross with it.

Thanks for you input
