Help with new rims

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

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
