PP Wheel Rubbing

[ansibe]

No, it's not a fetish ...

I have two sets of PP wheels, and I planned to run a square setup at the track, rear wheels on both axles, 19x9.5 with 285/35.

But, mounting the rear wheels on the front causes minor rubbing between the wheel and my Koni yellows. Static clearance is very tight, maybe 2mm. Turning the steering wheel 1/4 turn causes rubbing. Rear wheel offset is 52.5mm, and you need a bit more to be comfortable. I may use camber bolts to get the wheel away from the strut, and camber plates to get the neg camber I want.

Maybe a set of 5mm spacers on all corners for a better feel, fit and look.

Yes to run the 9.5s on the front you need a 5 mm spacer

Use a 5 mm spacer it will solve it for you, you need it for the strut clearance.

Thanks.
Can you get hub centric 5mm spacers? If not, how do you center the wheel?

Yes you can.

5mm is small enough the wheel will still center on a small bit of the stock centering ring. You're GTG!
