Got the spacers and the rims fit great! execpt I looked at the tires and the guy sold me 3 mud and snow tires and 1 radial tire.
As we all know, mud and snow tires have a wider thread face then a regular tire. so I have just one tire that doesnt rub against the suspension and 3 tires that do.
I took it for a test drive and the back tires were rubbing and loud. i couldnt go faster then 20mph and i smelled burning rubber from the rears.
here are some pics..
the rears are rubbing against the metal bar on the right of the strut
