Had mine flexed up over the w-end and noticed it touched somewhere, that must be where.
Only happened at full lock with the front spring compressed.

did you notice it rubbing whilst on the hoist and the wheels hanging down?

GLXR, do you get rubbing when offroading aswell?

might need a more negative offset wheel.

Im running +30 and no rubbing, whereas ppl running 33's opn stock rims get rubbing with offset of +38, therefore maxx is right! 8-) I think lol.....

I think it may be related to the fact i'm running the stock rims with 33's, It also does rub the mud flaps but i'm not worried about that it's a easy fix.

Yeah my rims are only +5 or 6 and mine front flaps were fixed really easy when they ripped off the first time I parked :lol: Problem with the low offset is I get a nice spray up the side of my ute but that just makes me look faster :twisted:

Yep, it's a Nanny state Sam. Can't pick your arse without someone wanting a law to allow it or disallow it.

Who would know if you were running spacers? I considered having the inside face of mine machined down if there was heaps of meat there but I think that'd be asking for trouble I think.

I agree aust, as its alloy not steel just asking for problems there, especially if you take it offroad.
