^^^ LOL, that wasn't flaming. If you want to see flaming, try being the first guy who asked if he should put ISF badges on his 250.

If your rolling on stock heigh and getting rubbing in the back it must be the spacers, How do the curved center caps look?

You mean the silver faced ones? They look freakin' sweet. Thats why I want to keep using them. But I need to get rid of the spacers, but then I need to cut the spindles to allow room for the silver caps.

Heres a picture of the 2 styles:

I might just get rid of the spacers and run the flat ones in the front and raised ones in the back.

I am lowered on H&R's on OEM Shocks.

My tires in front are 235/35/19 and I rub like a mad man when I am steering right and moving at cruising/freeway speeds. My rears are 265/30/19 and I have no rubbing at all.

I am assuming I am rubbing on the plastic liner of the fender towards the engine bay. I'll be using the heat gun treatment this weekend to see if it will solve the issue.

No, I am not. It's a really cheap spacer so i decided against using such a thing.

So do your flat center caps still fit with no spacer?

If by flat caps you mean the silver ones that come with the wheels...

yes, they do.

(You may want to note that I have an IS250 RWD so it MAY be different.)

Hey Kybball,

No rubn issues on my end. I'm on coils, drop 1/4" inch from fender - very close to zero gap.

I did front and rear fender work. Like some members said, heat gun and roll/trim fenders to delete/reduce rubn, and run smaller tires.


Good luck!

Im gonna take the spacers out of the back and see if that cures the back rubbing.
