Hey guys
I have recently replaced my stock 14" rally wheels 6" width and tires 235/70s with 15" 7 inch cragar ss and 15" 235/60s. I now have wheel rub on front on a hard right turn and bottoming out in minor dips hitting fender bolts. What to do??

It sounds as if your backspacing isn't correct. Your wheel tire combo should end up almost exactly the same width and a little under an inch shorter in height. Do you know what the difference is between the backspacing of your new and old wheels?

Back spacing should be at least 4" preferably 4 1/2"

On a 7" rim, b/s should be 4"

235 is a lil big, and may rub some.

Where is it rubbing on hard turns? On the framerail?
