I would like to run a spacer on my wheels as I'm currently rubbing with my 17x8 rims. The currentl back spacing is 4.5 the smallest spacer I've seen is 1.25", does anyone know of a smaller spacer. I'm afraid of it sticking out too far.
Thanks in advance.

 

That's the smaller spacer I've found too. I didn't think the wheel would rub with 4.5 backspaceinh?

 

I'm running 17x8 wheels with 4.50 BS and a 37x13.50 tire with no rubbing.

 

I know, I'm not sure why it's rubbing. From all I've read it should be fine. I'm also a little worried that there's not much space in between my brake caliper and the wheel. It looks real tight.

 

I dont know if this will help or not but with my 265 70 17 and no spacers I rub the control arm when my steering wheel is turn all the way to one side.

 

Looked into it a little more last night, and I don't rub on full lock left only full lock right. So I wonder if I have a different problem them backspacing.

 

I'm also running 37s on a 4-5" kit with 4.5 inch BS on my wheels. I had rubbing at full turn on one direction and not the other on my control arms. After measuring the clearance on the free side, I determined that even if I recentered my axle, I was still going to get rubbing.

I ended up getting the 1.25" spacers. That's about as thin as you can get due to the length of the stock wheel studs. If it was any shorter, you'd have to cut off a good portion of your studs and the nuts that hold the spacer to the wheel would probably be too skinny for proper balancing and retention.

So the spacers ended up solving the problem? Do you happen to have any pics? I'm not opposed to spacers just concerned they may stick out too much.
Edit: Saw some pics of yours with the Flat fenders, do you have any with the stock fenders? Looks good btw.

 

Try a couple of washers on the steering stops to prevent the rub at full lock.

 

Are you running the spacers in this pic?
