Front tires rubbing update - who was it?

I don't remember who it was that had the problem with their front tires rubbing on the inside mud shield when turning. I tried putting 15mm spacers on my champions with 19" 235s and got the same issue. I think your front wheels have an offset that is too aggressive.

Just thought I would share.

Figured it out. It was WillcoxMD: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=75507

thank you. You are absolutely correct. I took the car into my tuner and talked with HRE. The wheels were custom made to have very aggressive offsets.
The seller has bought the wheels back and I just ordered a brand new set of HREs with standard offsets!
I'll post some pics when I get them

Cool. Do you know what that "standard" offset is?

Did your rears work without rubbing?

I'll have to ask HRE. They told me, but now I forgot. The rear tires did actually rub when I hit a bump.
