Avalon 2005-12 :: 20 Inch Rims Rubbing On 2011 LE?

Installed 20x8.5 inch wheels/tires on 2011 Avalon Limited...tires are 245/35/20. I'm getting some rubbing when the car is loaded down and hitting bumps or too quick off the line. Car is white and I'm getting a little white paint on the outer wall of the back tires. Will rolling the quarter panels prevent rubbing or is this a too aggressive fitment?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2012 F250 6.7 Diesel - 18 Or 20 Inch Rims - Largest Tires?

I have a stock 2012 F250 6.7 Diesel. I was looking at getting new 18 or 20 inch rims for it and was wondering what the largest tire I could fit on those without rubbing on the truck would be. I know there are lots of topics on this but I could not find anything that applied to me. Most topics were on stock wheels.

Ford - Focus :: Vibration Like Driving Over The Intense Short Rumble Strips

Problem: Vibration together with a noise that sounds abrasive and destructive. Mechanics have failed me.

It feels like driving over the intense short rumble strips that are meant to tell you when a wheel is outside the traffic lane. I feel and hear it in any gear, whether I am moving or not, but hardly at all in Park or Neutral, and hardly at all when cruising at high speeds. It is worst on the first drive of the day - much less on subsequent drives, even if the engine has been allowed to cool fully.

History: When this began, less than 600 miles ago, I had the transmission checked, where I had warranty coverage.

Found: No transmission trouble but a broken engine mount.

I had the engine mount replaced (and two gaskets replaced because they had started to leak), together with Virginia's mandated annual inspection - passed.

Vibration lessened but continued and started to worsen. Within 3 days the engine stalled in traffic and THE NEXT DAY the "check engine" light came on. I went back to the same place. The ignition coil and spark plugs were replaced. Power returned, and no stalling or warning light, but the vibration persisted.

One mechanic baffled: "What do you expect with 101K mileage and 16 valves?" - But this came up too fast to be ordinary wear and tear. What should I do?

2.0L Zetec E engine.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Air Coming Out Of Vents Get Momentarily Warmer During Intense Acceleration

Yesterday afternoon when driving back home from a weekend trip I noticed something that I never experienced before. I was climbing a long hill with 4 passengers, the A/C on and the engine under full throttle reaching 5k-6k before shifting from 3rd to 4th, I noticed the air coming out of the vents would get momentarily a bit warmer during this intense acceleration period and then once the revs would drop it would get cold as usual.

Is this the normal behavior of the A/C compressor? Does it get shut momentarily under heavy accel by the ECM? Or is it faulty and it requires a change. My Santa is pretty much new, it's a 2012 model with only 2000km!

Toyota - Highlander :: 2006 - Front End Vibration / Wobble At Mid

I purchased a used 2006 Toyota Highlander AWD about 4 months ago. Ever since I bought it, it has had a vibration / wobble from the front end that can be felt through the steering wheel and acceleration petal. Only happens between 40-45 mph. I have brought it to the dealer many times and every time they balance the tires. Last time they said it was a faulty motor mount and replaced it. The problem has not been fixed with this repair.

Toyota - Highlander :: 2008 Base 2WD - Vibration While Driving During Certain Instances

I just bought an 2008 Highlander Base 2WD yesterday and have noticed a vibration while driving during certain instances. Unfortunately it is not constant and I haven't been able to make it happen on purpose. When it does happen, it occurs a second or two after I accelerate and take my foot off the pedal (when I'm not pushing the gas or slowing down). It's like the car is deciding which gear to be in...the whole thing just vibrates for 2-3 seconds.

Toyota - Highlander :: 2009 - Low Rumble / Vibration From Lower Front End

Just had front Rotors and 4 brake pads replaced. Afterward, I noticed after the car has been in motion for a few minutes, a low rumble sound and vibration occurs randomly and usually at low RPM 1500-2500. Vehicle is a 2009 Highlander 4 cyl at 72000 miles.

Toyota service dealer ran diagnostic check and could not find anything.

Second opinion - mechanic swears it's coming from transmission drum and beginning of trans going.

Third opinion- shocks are starting to go and likely root cause on the sound/sensation.

Fourth opinion, wheel alignment or warped rotor likely the cause.

Performed wheel alignment, slight improvement but rumble is still evident. One replaced rotor has a pronounced groove on exterior. Serviceman suggested we won the lottery and the groove came from a rock from the street hitting the rotor.

Finally, it was determined we need to replace intermediate drive shaft due to knocking sound when turning the steering wheel. Not likely related to the low rumble.

Camry :: Factory Steel Rims Always Really Hard To Get Off?

My friend has an 07 Camry with the factory steel rims and they are always such a pain to get off. They never come off easy at all. I bang & bang & bang on it lightly on the tire & on the rim & after a few mins it will come off. It is always like this on all 4 tires! The first time I worked on his car all 4 tires were stuck on good, and it took me almost 45 mins just to remove the 4 tires. So before I put them back on, I cleaned up the rust and I put some anti-seize around hub snout and still they are pain to get off. I have other cars with steel rims and they all come off easy..Why such a pain with the 07 Camry steel rims?

Camry :: 2007 LE V6 - Vibration During Acceleration

I have an 07 LE V6 with 76,000 miles. I am lowered on coilovers and have 20 inch wheels. so i have a small vibration while normal acceleration between 10-20 mph once i go past 20 mph it goes away. If I am accelerating heavy I feel the front vibrating all the way up until i let go of the gas. i can feel the pedal and steering wheel a lot and the whole car vibrates kinda hard.

I got new tires and replaced the pass side axle already. at first i thought it was the axle since the boot was leaking and i heard the clicking noise. I've even tried putting my stock wheels back on n i still feel it. I am going to lift the car up and try to find whats going on and what to look for under the car.
