Spacers?

Yea I'd say spacers are your best bet, long as you have room between your tire and fender. What's your set up? Rim width/offset and tire size

LRD

To be honest I dont even know. I bought the car with these rims/tires, they are fairly wide and rub on the inside. Fender gap I have enough or atleast dont have any issues with it.
Any suggestions on where to get the spacers? or a specific size brand etc? Never been a real tire guru but any help would be appreciated!
Oh yeah and I need new lugnuts if anyone knows a trusty site to order from

Ya i have 17x7.5 and they rub on the inside fender walls just a bit too. Usually only when i have additional people in my back seat, the extra weight makes it a problem.

Grab some spacers, they do not need to be that much at all, and yes you would need to roll back your fenders. Use a big tool of some sorts, and push the part of the fender that sticks into the wheel well upwards so that you have additional room for the tires to be moved outward.

Good Luck, let us know how it turns out

Look at your tire and let us know the tire size. Then look on the back of the actual wheel and find the offset.

If the wheel/tire is rubbing on the shock tower you need some spacers. If we knew your tire size and offset it would help out a lot.

I will be getting measurements tomorrow, when the suns out! Where would I've never seen the "offset" But i'll look!

And about rolling the fenders any more in depth info on that? I may just look into a shop doing that I dont want to scratch all my paint and just messing it up :P

LRD

Oh and again any idea where I can buy the spacers?
I'm also looking for some gold lugnuts, if anyone knows a trust worthy site I can get these from. Preferably with locks

I have 17in Maxxim Rims
Wrapped in Parada - Spec 2s
205/45R17

IonNinja

are you lowered at all because I'm having the same issue with my gfs car

205/45/17's dropped on Progress springs...with a 42+ offset I believe and it rubs on full turns. sucks because I can run 225/45/17s on my Ion with a 45+ offset and I don't rub anything unless I'm tuckin tire.

LRD

That I know of the car isn't lowered any.
However I cant find my offset for the life of me.
My rims are Maxxim fourteen Graphite / Machine Lip.
But yeah, any input on how I can fix this problem? And if spacers, where can I get them?

How wide is the rim? 7 or 7.5

You can get H&R spacers. They come with the extended studs.
5mm spacers will be alright without the extended studs

WheelDude has 3,5,8, and 10 mm spacers available I'm pretty sure so you can choose just what you prefer. They also have lugnuts

LRD

7.5
Would 5mm spacers be enough to clear the rubbing?
And thank you I was really wondering if I would need new studs as well

I also found a vendor on here Speed Elements, to sell me the lug nuts at a very good price
