They give my wheels an awsome stance but I rub in the back all the time now and I can't tuck my rear wheels all the way with my air ride. The front still cambers in enough though to tuck. http://www.fantomforce.com/CalebsContour.html www.fantomforce.com

Originally posted by Cris'pus: Much bueno...but I've got a Question: what is "venom" or two: for non-lowered contours, would spacers still make the tires rub? Spacers will also kill the wheel bearings quicker as the Load Line Position is shifted outside of the design point and that trancuates the raceway thus creating high raceway contact stresses and subsequent spal;ling and the failure of the bearing (yes bearings are my living ). The same problem can arise from using wheel with too high a deviation from the ideal offset. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
