The proper turn is refered to as rubbing. But whats you wheel/tire set up? I think you might be to spaced out. He the car being lower with 2 people in the back, its closer to the fender cause of the 1 1/4 spacing. YOur solution is either to not have as much spacing or roll your fenders so that you dont rub.
agreed. adding an inch and quarter would be quite alot of spacing. 1.25 inches converts to 31.75 millimeters. So if you were running a 45 offset to begin with then added spacers you would be sitting at a +14 offset which depending on the wheel and tire combo is definetly enough to rub and thats assuming you were using a high offset to begin with. If you had a 35 offset adding those spacers puts you close to a 0 offset which will always rub, no matter what.
I agree. I tried to get that done, and my fenders became mis-shapen. I had the exact same problem, except with a 1-inch spacer. I havent re-test-fitted the spacers yet (with my badly rolled fenders) but I will soon.
