striker tyres touching

Postby easisatman » Sun Jul 26, 2009 7:32 pm

Has any one else had problems with tyres touching the trailing arms? Seems there is a lot of clearance when on the ground and no occupants but must be the tyres flexing when going into corners and just scrubbing the trailing arms, so I fitted a 1cm spacer today,so should cure the problem this is an english axle with mexico wheels and yokohoma A539 tyres
regards

Had exactly that problem with the exactly the same combination of components.
I fitted spacers and the problem went away - can't remember what size I used though.
