please help! just put on rx-7 wheels w/spacers and rubbing

[ryu]

i just installed rx-7 wheels w/ 225's and 4 spacers. it seems like my back left and one or two of the right side wheels/tires are rubbing. i kept looking and looking for points of contact but cant find any. what the hell is rubbing??? only thing that seems close is that axle or lower control arm thingy in the back but i dont see it touching at all. what i did was slowly move and stop while in the rub so i can find where its touching. but i couldnt find a thing. is it hitting the disc break or something???

ryu, i found that I had to grind a tiny bit of metal away from the A arm on the rears. THey are the most common to rub on the RX7 wheels. Most of the time it isn't a problem, but sometimes they catch that little lip and rub. Just take a grinder and take a few mm's off the A-arm and you'll be fine.

If you cut it close (as it were), it will not rub in your driveway, but will rub when you are cornering.

its just a little bit of metal i guess..

Pull the damned wheel and look for the shiny spot.

are you sure your rims are tightened down ALL THE WAY? and what size spacer did you use?
