#8 Re: back wheels rubbing.
b310gx Posted on: 2008/3/22 23:35
it would be due to the offset of the wheels, with TRX rims being very close to a front wheel drive offset. 5-10 mm wheel spacers would help, but you would probably need to roll the edge of the guard over so it doesn't cut into the tyre. You should also put longer wheel studs on it, which isn't too hard. I've used rear wheel studs from a bluebird that i salvaged from a wrecker,just put a wheel nut on the stud before hitting it in, then replace with the longer wheel stud & bring it into place using the same wheel nut & maybe a large nut under it. It's a wonder the front wheels arent rubbing on the struts. Do you still have the front drums on it?

yeah roll the guards (will require a touch up respray around lip), and put some 5-10mm spacers. It doesn't take much to fix the inner guard rubbing.

It could also be that you are running 60 series tyres, which only works with 14 inch rims. For 15s you really need to run 45-55 series.

hahah yeah. it seems to be the inside guard rubbing. as in the wheel need to be spaced out, is'nt rolling the guards on the outside part of the wheel?
