what wheels are you running because those tires shouldn't rub unless you offset is off

My friend was looking into wheel spacers and one guy at a performance shop said not to get them, they are apparently bad for the axles, but I'm not saying to get them or not to get them, just putting in my two cents :)

Please realize there are 2 kinds of spacers, Hub centric and Lug centric. I personally only run spacers on the front and they are hub centric. Also as everyone said why do you need these what kind of wheels do you have?

I have the 1in spacers on the back of my car I dunno what they are called but its the spacer with studs already attached to it so you don't have to get longer studs. My 18s with 285s rubbed when the tire got pushed in but only once and a while. My problem was the wheel had an offset for a 2005+ I believe. It sucks though because when I want to put on some burnout wheels/tires I need to swap 20 lugs instead of 10 because of the spacers.

Your front tires (245/45R17) should not be rubbing if your wheel offset is correct. Rear wheels, well regarding your front wheels, who knows where your rear wheel offset is... But if you do spacers, only go with hubcentric. :cool:

You only run spacers on the front cause you have skinneys and not street wheels/tires? Based on your sig pic...

No, I only run spacers up front becuse my wheels will hit my calipers. The tires are street legal, so are the wheels......the front wheels are actually 4.5" wide
