As most of you know, I bought my new wheels like last summer. I like the look and all, but I do have one small problem...
I have 225/50/R17's on them right now. They are 17 X 7 wheels with a +40mm offset. My problem is, if I turn the wheel really hard, the side of the tire rubs on the front subframe just slightly. It's not a huge problem because you aren't normally going very fast when you make that sharp a turn, so not much fiction there, but I don't want to damage my sidewalls all the same. Plus, next time I get tires, I think I wanna go with 235/45/R17, which may put the side of that tire even closer to the subframe.
So I think I could just put some kind of spacer between the wheel and the wheel up that would essencially change my offset to I don't rub anymore.Any thoughts? The wheels I have are the Fox Sport 2's that are on clearence on Tirerack. They Fox 2's are also available in +42mm Offset, but they're not on clearence and are almost $100 more per wheel. I think Venum probably has some tip for me, if he's checkin' this forum...
