Wheel Problem!!! HELP!!

Post by Murder_City_Neon » Sat Jun 27, 2009 1:03 pm

I have a set of Konig rims with a 205/55-16 tire on them. They wont clear the rear strut and i was wondering what I need to do. Thank you in advance.

You need small tires, they are to tall. You need 205/45's or 205/50's

Yeah about 15mm spacers, but you'll need longer studs, and your wheels will stick out and look GAY!!
You need to make exactly one inch of clearance and theres no way to do that, cheaply. You could get coilovers but it would be cheaper to get tires.

Are the tires hitting the spring perch? You really can't do anything about that, except smaller tires.
