    Default Tie rods scrubbing

    Car - Ae71

    motor / part in question - Tie rods

    problem - Just installed a set of ground control coilovers using some of AJPS's tie rods and cut and shut steering knuckles and T3's lcas and rcas. My current wheels are 13x6.5 unsure of offset and they are scrubbing is this normal for a set up like this and is the only option getting larger wheels?

    Cheers in advance

    need more negative offset/good tyre sizing. ie 14" 185/55, or 15" 195/50 with wheels that are 0 offset or 'deeper'

    i'm assuming they're the ajps slimline balljoints also?
