DT, that doesn't sound right.
If you are talking about Hall Utra Wheels and they are bigger then 15" then they have more room for the brakes.
The shock spacer doesn't change the relationship of thewheel to the brake housing. That stays constant.
It isn't the brake housing you are rubbing on. It can't possibly be that.
Oh Doug there are spacers bolted onto the back of the wheel that give them the clearance for the Girling calipers. If you remove those the wheel contacts the edge of the calipers right where the bolts that hold the wheels together come through. The other spacers are to put on the bottom of the springs on the Konis. If you don't put them in the tires rub on the fiberglass fender flares when you hit a bump in the road. So you either have to have the car jacked up, or you have to run the stock wheels. I decided to just buy new tires and keep the stock wheels. I know the tires on there are only 34 years old, but they don't look so good. High perfomance tires do wear out faster I guess.
