i got 2 inch lift now but im still going to do body so il clear 30 easy
well this is the ride any ways



thanks ahead

How bad are they scraping?? Have you rolled your guards yet? You could be running the wrong offset on your rims, don't know what the right offset is though. Someone here will know.

[Taff]

you shouldnt need spacers for 30s unless you have some wacky positive offset rims.

where are they scraping? on the chassis or body?

Give the wheelarch seams a good hammer bash.

[Taff]

oh and fix it before you go for a wheel, or your tyres will get raped.

[salih]

they already have
they are scraping on the leff springs (if that how you spell them lol)
they arent scraping on the out side its just on the leff springs
even when i flex it it scrapes ont he top abit but nothing a littel big more highter whont fix

so what do u guys think ??

[tanshi]

sounds like your running standard offset wheels. f100 offset will stop the scrubbing but will possibly need flare extensions.

[Taff]

Spacers are not the answer, what brand are your rims?

I have never seen 30s scrape on leafs but i have only ever seen them on 15x7 speedy or king rims which have around a -14 offset.

[salih]

they are f100 rims ?
im sorry if i sound stupid but im new to this and to me it dident make sence for 30s 2 be rubing bad

like if i drive on a normal road and try to do a u turn i cant i need to do a 3 point turn ??

[salih]

shode i go take a pic of it and the wheels then u guys can see what im talking about ??

[Taff]

f100 rims are not all created equal.

You need rims with a negative offset, which meant they move the tyre away from the chassis.

Speedy or King are two very common and inexpensive examples, which would most likely fix your problem.

Cheaper/safer/more readily availible than spacers.

tthats bad... haha um like the others said i think you should invest in some sunraysia 15 x 7 with a descent negative offset. 60-70 $$ each..spacer might work i guess but correct me if im wrong any1 but spacers are allegal i think..(not that it matters just saying)

[salih]

well this were the only rims i couled find in my area
well it wasent in my area had to drive 3 houres for em
i had alot of trouble finding rims for this car
isent there another way

or shode i just try selling this rims and tyres and buy another 1 ??

[Coffszook]

keep the rubber.. sell the rims and go down to your local tyre place he prob get them in over night. prob about 70 beans each speedy or kings 15 x 7 -10 to -20 offset. i havve negative 14 and they stick out plast my flares about 1 inch

[tanshi]

any tyre or wheel store should be able to help with the rims you need. realistically if yours are only rubbing on full lock on the springs i wouldnt worry too much about it but thats just me

[salih]

ok cool
thanks to every 1 for the help
dam this site is good its been like 10 minz and i already got my answear 1s again thanks alot every 1

[Taff]

Any tyre shop will have what you want.

Speedy Desert rats in 15x7 should work for you and probably cost about $60 each, ask them to fit them for that price too... a good tyre place will.
shop around

i have 2inch suspension and 2 inch body but i haven't lifted my front bar yet and it scrapes with my 30s all the time so i took it off.
