buster Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 i ve seem to have some rubbing issues with my rear wheels. they are 9.5" x 19" et38 using 25mm spacer fitted with 275/35/19 tyres. i believe if i reduce the spacer to a 20mm that should clear any fouling.? look forward to your assistance guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Are you lowered at all? Should never rub with that setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Are you lowered at all? Should never rub with that setup believe the car maybe slightly lowered but not much. when i fitted the rear they sat/sit flush with the outer of the rear arch.

Ian Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 19 x 9.5 with offset of 38 + 25mm spacer = et of 13 I run 19 x 10.5 with an offset of 22 Mine would have stuck out further than yours & never rubbed on 275s even when lowered Are you sure they are a 38 offset to start with?

Ian Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 42 offset would sit further in than the 38 Every car is different. Fiddys car used to rub on the same size/offset/tyres/amount lowered that I had but mine never rubbed until I went to 285s. But unless you were really slammed I wouldnt expect that combo to rub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 well V88 REG and i are meeting up tomorrow so i can get a 20mm spacer...hopefully once there fitted i wont have this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 First thing to do is actually look what offset they are and go from there. Usually stamped on the inside of the wheel or spoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
