Rubbing
Have a 29 special coupe, hard turn causes rubbing on front tire, all stock, 21” tires. Any thoughts?

Re: Rubbing
Tire is probably hitting the brake rods. It could be that the tires are oversize. Firestones are a bit oversized. you could fix it by putting a washer under the stops on the axle.

Re: Rubbing
Are the stop nuts on the front or rear of the axle?

Re: Rubbing
My Coker 21" radials are substantially larger than the multiple brands of bias rags I took off. They rub just a little in a tight turn.

Also, make sure they are the correct length and are touching the spindle. |
