Reply to "Right tire hitting the fender in the front"

David, most of the time I use Avon CR6ZZ tires too .

1/4 "clearance is ok with 215/60 , when braking and cornering the suspension will be going a little backwards. Looking on the picture , it looks like the fender lip has some curves , maybe the fender was pushed backwards /upstairs .

Eugene , did you replace the A-arm rubbers already ?

295 on 8" is  not good , better go to 245/60 or 275/50 ( Avon Reference) and if you like to go rear wider use 20mm or 1" bolt on spacers , easy to get into USA, M12x1.5 bolts /5x114.3 mm ( same as Ford Mustang , bolt tread as Lexus)

in front 225/60 on 7+8"will only will fit when the fender lips are reworked and painted.

just my experience.

Simon,
thanks, and no, the A-arm rubbers are old and need replacement, I ordered the bushings already. Do you see a connection to the tire rubbing with the bushings?
The front fender lip is not rolled in beautifully, that is true, I will correct that too.

And thanks for the info about the spacers & rear dimensions!



Eugen
