I put some 15mm H&R spacers on the rear of max. I have 19x8 Axis Se7en Mods. If I take a turn too sharp/fast, the tire will rub on the fender.

I don't want to roll my fenders, so does anyone know if 10mm spacers would be ok? I'm not sure what the offset of my wheels is.

 

10mm spacers (H&R or hubcentric for that matter) don't exist...to my knowledge.

You'll have to go from 5-15.

Is it rubbing only on one side? Usually it's the right side which will rub, and a while back Larrio posted a procedure to re-center the rear beam so that should no longer be a problem.

If that's not the issue, then rolling the fenders is probably the solution.

I have my fenders rolled AND I took an angle grinder to remove some of the "tab" inside the wheel well that caused some of the rubbing.

 

Yeah, I was searching some sites and didn't see any 10mm spacers by H&R. I see that Eibach makes them though. Are those just as good?

And yes, it's the right side that rubs and I saw that tab you mentioned.

I'll have to find Larrio's procedure. I hope it's not too involved. I'd rather not grind down the tab because it would rust eventually.

Have the beam re-centering bookmarked, actually:

As for the spacers, the link shows a million spacers, and the ones listed that were 10mm I saw were for the wrong bolt pattern.

I'm sure you could use a 10mm spacer, but it wouldn't be hubcentric. Not the way our hubs are designed.

As for the grinding, I cut out the metal/plastic in the way and then re-coated it with 3M rubberized undercoating for rust prevention.

 

Awesome, thanks for posting this link. I had the rubbing on the right side only too.

 

or u can lose the spacers all together cause obviously if ur rubbing with 15mm then u prolly dont need them at all...

 

Thanks for posting that, MetaOrbit. I'm a little confused about it though. Is there a write up with pics?

Will doing this stop my rubbing for sure?

 

Only one way to find out.

 

Alright, I'll see what I can do this weekend.

 

The original thread has some pics:

(if you were referring to the beam re-centering)


As for the grinding...just look up inside the wheel well and see what it's rubbing against (if that's your problem). Grind and re-coat.

 

Yup, I searched earlier today and found that thread. Thanks man.

I was just thinking...When I installed the spacers, I had less than a 1/2 tank full of gas and no rubbing. I only started to rub after I filled up on gas. Aha!
A temporary solution.
