Hi there,

I had a question if anyone has run into this problem before? I just put new wheels on my car and they are rubbing on my lower shocks. Does anyone make a spacer that I can add to push the tires out a little further? I looked online and just seems to be adapters for trucks to widen there stance. Any suggestions greatly appreciated as always.

Are they hex driven wheels? There are many different widths of hexes to be found. I normally just go straight to eBay and start there.

Probably easier to move the shocks to the inner holes, but if your car is using 12mm hexes then you can use these spacers here too, just be sure you understand that changing your track width will reduce traction:

Yes, they are hex driven. I will try out your advise and move the shocks to the inner holes and see what happens then.

keep in mind that the more vertical you stand the shocks up, the more traction you create on that end of the car... so if you move the lower hole inside, then you want to move equal distance on the upper hole to maintain the same traction, otherwise your front end might start to push in tight corners.

Thanks for the advice so I will try that out and let you know how I make out.

Also, I believe HPI has a couple different offset touring car wheels. Maybe check them out as well.

I just tried moving the shocks to the inner hole but now it seems the rims are rubbing on the suspension arm on the front and the rear.....going to defintly need to space out a couple of more mm or look for different wheel options.
