Thread: Wheel Wells Rub

I have a set of 205/50R17 and they ran great for a bit and now they are rubbing. they are rubbing my strut, i dont think a new strut would make a difference. would low profiles make a difference?

Go get a lil 5 mill spacer from autozone and put them on. Ull be fine. just make sure you have enough thread on the lug nuts. also remember that not all 205s are the same widths.

you can get spacers from autozone?

Can't find 4 lug Spacers are they out there

Yea dude. they are 18 bucks a set at autozone

what the heck, do you need to extend the lugs?

Why would they go from not rubbing to rubbing now? I'm presuming the exact same tires pre/post? Are you too low on air, hitting bigger bumps, or have something wrong with the suspension?

cool i saw the spacers with lugs connected but i might just buy +1" lug bolts Thanks man

They are not rubbing on the body. They are rubbing on the strut base under spring. I might have filled them to exact air psi specs now or something but same driving conditions. If it was strut pressure or spring wouldn't the tire rub the well?

Ussually the,tire size ya do with a b13 is 205/40/17......even that rubbed for me in the,rear with agxs...needed a 5mm spacer...whst size and offset wheels u using?
