Rear Versus Front Tire Widths
Got the last 2 wheels today and took them down immediately
Yup! An little passenger side rub on turn here too.
The saga continues......
While I was waiting for the last 2 new 14 inch AR wheels to arrive, I cleaned up the rust and peeling in the rain gutter around the trunk seal.
This was my last big project that I had in mind. Turned our pretty clean.
So, when the last 2 wheels came in today I took them down immediately to hav the tire mounted.
**The 3.75 inch backspacing on the AR62 wheels has turned out perfect; as the rear tires still clear the springs by almost 2 inches.
I did also get the Ggabriel HiJackers installed, and it only took about 27# of pressure to get the *** end looking more level. I'm hoping that little amout of pressure won't punish the shock mounts too much
The specs are 20# minimum; 200# max.
We'll see how the shock mounts fare over time.
Now, like "DA69RT", when I didn't take it easy backing in the driveway turning the wheels right, I had a little rub on the passenger side. The trim there is wide and angled a littedownwards. So I bumped that back upwards, and will keep an eye on it. I've got a good dip where the driveway meets the street.
Pictures - not on the level.
***NOW FOR THE NEW PROBLEM:
On the driver's side everything looked OK with the 14 inch wheel; but the previous owner's calipers wer pretty close on clearance - about half an inch.
For some reason, on the passenger side the caliper clearance is almost nil...maybe 1/8-1/43 inch.
And, when I test drove her, the passenger side caliper was rubbing. :eek:
Wondering if there is some adjustment room there; or am I headed to lower profile calipers???
