Does anyone know where I can buy a set of Spring Spacers for a 2005 xB (rear) it's rubbing in the back. I have 18's 225/45/18 I believe.

Thank you

you'll proabably only need 5mm imho

 

Ok i'll be honest i'm a dumbass when it comes down to this stuff. What are wheel spacers for? and how would that stop me from rubbing? I see that they fit over the lugnuts but won't that make the tire go out further? and when I turn won't that mean I would rub more? Someone please explain!! I'm sorry for asking stupid questions I just want to make sure I'm getting the right item.
Ok I can see using the wheel spacers for the front because when I turn I know i'm rubbing in the front...Crap I can see where the paint has come off from it rubbing. But rubbing in the back I thought they made some kind of shock spacers. Because when I have 2 adults in the back and I go over a bump I can hear it rub in the back. I dunno! Hey kenfuji thanks for the quick reply.

thank you

first thing we need to find out is where is it rubbing.

 

please provide spec.
rim size
tire size
offset
drop if any?
w/out those its difficult to help.

 

 

Those tires are too big. I'm riding 215/35/18 and I rub a bit in the front. Your set up will not work unless you raise the vehicle.

 

true too big of a tire. a 215 40-18 might work but a 225/45/18 is way too big. Thats why your rubbing.

not only will it not fit you are 9.2% too big when your speedo reads 60 you are going
65.6mph
i got that here

In conclusion im sorry to say you are going to have to get new rubber. 215/35 or 215/40 should work.

 

Ok so then I'll go back to the rim shop because I told them that I would need smaller tires. Thank you guys for the help!!

 

my pleasure to help
