Tires Rubbing on RXV

madtuna187 · 06-24-2019, 10:13 AM

Need some advice. I just purchased a 2015 RXV and had 215/50-12 tires/rims installed. When two adults are on the back of the cart, the back tires rub when going through a turn. Anyone else out there with this same setup? What can I do to correct this?

Trim the plastic on the inside of the rear bumper. Put some weight on the back and get under the cart. You will see where to do it. Cgtech has a diagram. Maybe he will see this and post it. This is routine on RXVs with taller tires.
Normally carts with back seats have heavy duty springs. Usually done in conjunction with rear seat installation. In recent years "dual action" springs have become available. These allow for softer ride when nobody on the back and stiffen up when weight is added. I have them on my RXV and no issues with 500# on the back.

Thanks Kernal. Hadn't thought about trimming the plastic. I think I'll just replace the springs first and see if that does the trick.

You can just remove the inner wheel well plastic liners. Pop out the "christmas tree" fasteners and pull it out of the opening...
