So they look freaking awesome but the rears rub really bad and two brand new tires are trashed. Free replacements are incoming that hope I get installed ASAP - got some wheel spacers for temp fix and hubspacers ordered. Working on the bolt issue in front of the rear wheels today so once the tires get in, hopefully I can rock the new wheels.

Box looks good with the new ones up front and the old wheels in back. <---sarcasm

This is what the rears looked like after less a 4 mile drive home from being installed.

Once this is fixed and I get the other two parts I'm waiting on - going to wash up the box and take some new shots.

My heart goes out for ya, good luck on the quick fix ...... and then onto the next mod :)

Whats going on here? are they offsets too high? Is that the inside of the tire running somewhere on the suspension?!


what is the size of the wheels?

Holy poop batman that's a rubbery mess! Was is just a bad offset / wide wheel?

OUCH!

Be very carefull, as when I put alloy wheels on with a 5mm wheel spacer the lugnuts would only thread on two and a half turns! Very unsafe.

Indeed. Hit up bbszero for some hub spacers pronto! I would not run wheel spacers unless you swap the lugs for longer ones. Better yet, just snag some hub spacers from Cliff & be done with it. JMHO...//TJ

Funny you mention that - I snagged his last set of 10mm hub spacers! Hope they are here Monday/Tuesday... The wheels are 15x8 +35, I wanted to get the +25 but there are no hubcentric rings to fit so I went with +35. Issue is actually I didn't want the stretched look so the tires are 225/50/15 which is really beefy for our xBs. :icon_biggrin:

This afternoon/evening a friend of mine grinded down that "bolt" you see covered in rubber and tried the wheels with a quarter inch spacers I bought but he still told me it's not safe so I should wait for the hub spacers to arrive.

Hope to have new tires Monday/Tuesday at the latest along with spacers - shooting for Wednesday install of everything! I've got a few new front end pieces to go on da box so stay tuned for pictures! 8)

Wow!...:shock:

Dang, that's some serious rubbing! Your spacers went out today, should see them monday.
