If I hit a dip in the road it can rub the fender liner fastener. I'm thinking of having spacers fabricated for the front to bring it up just a tad. Probably an eighth of an inch is all I need.

Hmmm. I have the same wheels and offset as you. It only rubs when you hit bumps? how about hard corners or sharp transitions like AX?

Haven't been to an autox yet but just tried to do some swirving back and forth on an empty road. Felt great, didn't feel any rubbing. So far I can only say for sure that I've gotten rubbing from this one somewhat nasty dip in my neighborhood. If I encounter more I will let you guys know.

Yep, a bit too much rubbing and scraping for my taste. Sooo, here's what I'm having made to hopefully solve the problems:




Thickness: 1/4 inch

More to come...

Put the spacers in today. Helped a ton. Front is 3/8" and rear is 1/4". No more rubbing and the car just looks and feels better. It's amazing what a quarter inch of difference means.

Yep, exactly. The downside of doing that is that I no longer have enough threads to install my front strut bar. But getting the ride right is way higher priority for me. I may sell the bar, I dunno.
