Does anyone else get rubbing when they have someone in the back? its really annoying, i had a suitcase in there and just the weight of that was making it rub.. Has people got there arches rolled or is there an easier way to stop this from happening? Iv got spacers on the back with 17"s anyone else got the same set up? And does it rub for you aswell??

Cheers

I had to remove my 15mm spacers as no matter what i tried they still rubbed, i got some halfords 10mm spacers and used the longer nuts that came with the 15mm ones. Some say its dodgy running non hubcentric ones but its been fine for over a year now and i only get rubbing with a full load.

However my wheels are et42 so you may not get away with it.

I too had ET37 wheels plus Eibach 15mm's and got loads of rubbing, went for some halfords 10mm's and only get rubbing every now and then when theres 3/4 people in and you hit a delv in the road.

Are those pics taken with the spacers on or off Leeroy?? I ordered a H&R kit for mine the other week and will hopefully get my hands on it this week but suspect I will have the same problem with rubbing, going to see if I can get a mate to machine down my 15mm Spacers so I can keep the hubcentric type.

Sorry matey 10mm hubcentrics wont work as theres to much hub for it to fit on.

These are with 10mm spacers:
