Rubbing rear arch after spacer and springs fitted.

[Welsh.Dan]

I just fitted new cup shocks, Cooksport springs and 15mm "behind the hub" rear spacers. 20mm fronts too.
Rears causing the problems.
Is it normal for on side to sit tighter to the inside arch than the other? as drivers rear sits 5mm tighter to the inside arch than the other.

Where it's rubbing tyre....

Drivers side is the side that rubs under load/when hit bumps in road.
It hasn't had a geo setup yet. Would this correct it?
Spacers are from mad and are both 15mm non camber ones.
Tyres are 205.
Car has suspension cup pack.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Maybe help or not but I've got a 172 with new 182 cup shocks and cook sports with some 15spacers.. Sounds the same as Urs but the spacers I got of ebay and it says they have a little camber built in.. (Don't know how much). I have 182 cup wheels aswell like Urs but with 195-45-16's... Have no problems with scrubbing or rubbing and that was with 3 teenagers in the back with there scooters and rucksacks in the boot aswell... My tyres are toyo proxes t1-r's and are just over 2weeks old. I'm going to get full alignment set up next week to check on camber,toe ect...!

Cheers, Bruce....

Thanks for the reply. I did think of swapping to 195 as that will bring it in 5mm on the outside edge. The tyres are khumo so might be good idea to swap them anyway.

Trouble is my fronts are new Dunlop sport max. Wouldn't want to change them too to match widths, but don't know wether would be ok to have different widths. Suppose 10mm tyre diff won't make any difference.
Cheers

195 45 16 fitted and no scrubbing
Great! Expensive but great. Lol.
Future ref for anyone: 15mm bolt to hub rear spacers. 20mm front hubcentric. Cup suspension pack. Std cup shocks. Cooksport springs. Std 182 alloys.
205 wide scrub, 195 don't!

Howabout rolling the arches?

It's fine now mate with the new 195. No rubbing at all

I don't think any of these sit the same, my race car has a slightly bigger gap one side to the other.
