wheel spacers aren't safe, IMO. Fix the problem, don't add another.

don't wheel spacers eat up your hub bearings pretty quick?

I don't think the OP has even bothered to read our suggestions. Isn't that considerate when they ask for help, we give it and they don't bother to even read it.

yea, b/c your tire is farther out, it has more leverage against the bearing, wide tires can have the same effect

Smile tires rubbing

sorry did not get to read your replys sooner was in hospital had my third kid well i dropped it off at my buddys shop and he had it for a couple days and told me that the piece on the back of the spindle that is supposed to stop the tire from hitting the control arm was missing he welded a piece of metal on the back of the spindle and now its all good
