    Default Tyres rubbing on suspension strut

    Hi all, got wheels for my ke70 and have a problem. I put the back wheels on and they r sweet but the front tyres are rubbing up against the strut on like at bottom where the plate that holds the spring is, is there any way of fixing this without getting a lower profile tyre or a thinner rim?

    thanks guys. Cause ive seen guys with much fatter tyres and wheels and lower cars and i dont know why im having a problem.

    wrong thread. but easy done. 3mm - 5mm slip on spacer, obviously you have a ver positive offset wheel.

    they would have had a lower offset most likely, run a slip on spacer if it's not to bad

    sorry man. im new lol. Anyway i put on a lower profile tyre today and the fronts are sweet, the backs still rub on the back guards everytime i go over a speed hump. Do you guys just run really stiff springs because ive seen heaps of guys with their cars lowered down and the tyre sitting just under the guard. Let me know what to do guys, thanks.
