Wheel spacers

[jake181]

Just fitted 14" vtr alloys to my 1.1 saxo and they are rubbing on full left lock, only a small amount should i fit spacers? if so what size? If i get spacers will i need them for both the back and the front?

[jake181]

anyone?

[LSOfreak]

where are they rubbing at? the inside of the wheel?

[jake181]

on the left hand side at the inside

[LSOfreak]

are the plastic arch liners all on properly (no missing clips)

[jake181]

oh i never thought to look at that, ill have a look when it stops raining, should they not scrap then?

[jake181]

if i do get spacers do i need to buy 4 even though its just the front wheels?

[LSOfreak]

well you dont NEED to just might look a bit daft and probably wont do any favours to handling

[KamRacing]

you usually buy in sets of two. You can fit them to the front without fitting to the rear. Its more beneficial that way anyway for a front wheel drive car as increasing the rear dials in understeer

[jake181]

the thing is that if i put them on the rear aswell when people are in the back of my car the wheel may rub on the body because their quite close already :/ maybe i should just leave it, it only rubs a bit and that when i turn at full lock or is leaving it not agood idea

you'l only need them on the front, but tbh your wheels shouldn't be rubbing at all??? what profile are your tires?

[D--R--E--W]

If the correct profile is on the tires then you shouldn't be getting a scrubbing atall... think they should be 185/55/14

just been and had a look and the plastic thats in the wheel arch is loose looks like a clip has come off or something as their is a hole, what kind of clip goes in the hole?
