Rubbing on the inside fender well on the right rear, passenger side. Rubbing on the outside fender on the left rear driver side. Showing a little heat in the paint on the left side. I may need to go to a smaller size tire in the back, they are staggered now. Can the arms be adjusted or shimmed? Seems like they are not centering the wheels in the openings. Just starting to work on a new project.

No flares, I'll check on the wheel number later today. 8" in the rear with no flares is pushing it (literally). In addition to needing the perfect offset to make that work (by either getting wheels that have the perfect offset or using spacers to get your wheel in the right spot) you also at a minimum need to roll the fender lip and probably take a baseball bat to work the arch a bit.

My guess is that you have 951 stamped Fuchs, as most of the extra width is added to the inboard side of the wheel. Lateral adjustment this going to be handled by spacers or wheel offset (there might be a little bit of play, but prob not enough to make a difference). Increasing camber helps clear a bit as well. Lateral adjustment at the front of the swing arm affects toe. |
