Worst case scenario you move the rubbing to a different part of the well. If the rub's not too severe a thin (10mm or so) spacer would likely solve it all.

lol i just did a few searches for some tires. best i can get is a 195/50/r15 lol...so i'll be running a tire that is slightly stretched to get it to fit without rubbing


man it's almost like i drive a 240...

Tito

yeah, i think i might try that, would i have to get longer studs just for the extra 10 mm?

dave22

I would. You'd probably be okay buying some cheap spacers and bolting them up and driving around for a bit to see what rubs. But should the time come to go for something permanent I'd get quality spacers and longer studs.

Tito

best i'm finding are 5 or 15 mm for the teg. prices seem reasonable around 60-100 dollars. which isn't bad. and should fix my problem. i'll get my measurement on and see what i can play with.

anyone want to roll my fenders in the next couple weeks?

I'm glad my tires don't rub. -3 degrees all around, 205/50 tires, and I'm about as low as I want to go on stock shocks.

i went from 245's to 305's and barely rub. I think your problem is your tires are too tall, get different tires/wheels/both. Spacers are not going to fix a height problem, it will get worse, mark my words.

EDIT: this is assuming they are rubbing on the fenders and not the struts

You can buy 7 or 8mm spacers from Pep Boys for like $10-15.

And if you want, I'll help you roll your fenders. You have to come to me, but we can do it.

Venice

Maybe try a spacer bolt on or just a slip on 10mm spacer should do the trick but then you might have to roll the fender . Thats my 2cts

The_rabbit1

wtf is a spacer bolt on?
