coilovers rubbing

CloudyLP640 · 04-08-2013, 02:03 AM

Front wheels are 19x9 + 35.
Tire is 235/35/19.

I just installed a KW V1 coilover kit and I'm getting a slight rub in between the coilover perch and the tire itself.

What is the slimmest spacer I can fit to fix that issue ? I dont want to push the front wheels out to much since fender is pretty close.

3mm? 5mm ? 8mm ?

Thanks

if its a slight rub with the wheel up in the air (able to rotate it) run a 3mm. you wont need to run longer bolts....naaamean.

^^ I can rotate the wheel, but I'm hearing a squeek sound.

sounds like its very minor, a 3mm should do the trick if not just let the tire wear itself out.

3mm is probably what you need.
