I just installed the tein tie rods and ends with spacers on my s13 that i got from Auto RnD and when i turn the wheel all the why it rubs on the inside frame help.

A. Should i hit it with a hammer :hammer:
B. Cut some metal

C. Get wheel spacers

D.

But one good thing no more three point turns.

Get wheel spacers, or you can get a set of skiny's 3+ offset for the front.

CustomS14A · 07-20-2004, 11:32 PM

I want to get the real wheel spacers but there expensive..

Salty_X · 07-20-2004, 11:35 PM

Try A. If that doesn't work, try C. If that doesn't work, try D.

Or take the inner tie rod spacers out and get another alignment...

If you want to go ghetto fabulous get an old rotor and cut everything but the 4 or 5 lug flange.

I think i have some old rotors but i dont have any cutting tools but dang that sound like a lot of work..
If you guy's can link me to some spacers ...UP UP AND AWAYYY

Using cut up rotors would be a mistake, plus I'm sure the offset would be too much. If you have money, go on ebay and find 4x114.3 spacers. Its not like its car spesific, just find some universal kind the same lug pattern, they are 20 bucks. Just type in wheel spacers, and search. If $20+shipping is to much then "You have failed"
