help! Decent Budget control arms?
Hi there, I just bought some wheels and tires (wheels 18x9.5 +15, tires 235/40/18) for my 02 Is300 but they are rubbing and destroying the outside of the tire. Can anybody recommend me some decent control arms for camber? I must note that I’m on a budget (broke college student life)
I came across a brand called god speed that has a rear kit for $180. Thanks.

Rolling fenders would be both cheaper and less time/work. Just a suggestion. Godspeed parts are kinda junk. Cheapest of the cheap. I'd at least go with Megan. They are cheap too but have earned a reliable reputation.

I would avoid being cheap with parts like this because you will not only be on a budget but also on a gurney when they fail.
The logic here makes no sense, you bought wheels that don't fit your car, you're on a budget, so you need cheap aftermarket parts to fix it?
People may not agree with this but it sounds like the smart thing to do here is to sell the wheels that don't fit your car.

OP your best economical options are different wheels, or different sized tires(which may not even fix your problem). RUCA would fix your rub, but there's a very finite amount of adjustment on your remaining stock suspension arms. Too much creamer in the coffee, so to speak...
As for brands the advise already given is pretty solid. Avoid the cheaper ones because they'll just wear out at an accelerated rate(personally experienced this), might not fit properly etc. Megan are cheap and fairly stout for what they are... Except it's not likely to completely solve your problem
