you can get rims with the spacer built in.... it's called a rim with more negative offset.

Are tyres rubbing when you turn on the firewall side and on the bumper side on the black splash guard? Mine did with that size tyre. |

225/75 R16 on stock rims I trimmed the plastic on the firewall side and used a 4lb hammer to flatten the seam. Then fitted the plastic back on but at a slight angle. It only just touched that side. On the bumper side i just relocated the bracket that holds the splash guard in position closest to the engine bay pushing the splash guard towards the front of the car away from the tyre. |

I run 225/70/16 AT3s with 2in lift. There is a slight rubbing at full lock on occasion, haven't bothered to see what it is though yet. |

I'd full lock is on the chassis, mine touch there in tight spots. |

I found this tip recently http://suzuki-grandvitara.info/forum/vi ... .php?t=225 I have never paid over $300 for a mud or at on my zook. That's just mental. |

That is similar to what i did to my guard at the front. I got the goodyear duratrac for $300, they're not very loud. |
