    The new alloys I've got were rubbing pretty badly on the rear inside, so I bought 2 sets of 3mm spacers and also have longer bolts too so they're secure, took it to a garage the other day to get the wheels balanced and asked them to take a look and make sure the spacers are okay and not touching and they said it was rubbing very slightly, and that I should find another way of spacing??

    How is the best way? I'm already at 6mm but I don't want to go too far else it'll start rubbing on the outside. Bearing in mind it's a 3 stud aswell!

    you need to get the arches rolled on the inside dude, not sure how you go about doing it, but lots of people do it, so it cant be that hard!

    3mm spacer + rolled arches, should solve your problems

    He said something about it rubbing on a different part but can't remember what he said haha.

    Cheers mate I'll look into it though!
