Wheel Spacer + Tire Rub Questions
« on: December 12, 2006, 01:43:25 PM »
How much wheel spacing can you get away with when running a 235 75 R15 tire before you run into trouble?

I have a 1.5" wheel spacer that just rubs in the front and when flexing in the rear.  Does anyone else see this problem with the 1" spacers?

it depends on the wheel size and backspacing, and what vehicle its on

It's a 96 2 door tracker with stock rims and the spacers in front if I remember from when I saw it last.

I keep forgetting to put the extra vehicle stats on these posts.  :P

Yea, it's a 96 2 door running stock offset wheels with a set of Toyo Open Country AT tires.
