The wheels rub and rear sits low

As usual, everything went to crap. I was told that the 17 inch Pacer wheels wouldn't rub the calipers. They do. It was recommended to use 1.750 lift in rear with 2.5 in front. It will sit level they said. It doesn't . Neither Custom Offset or Muddify was correct. I attempted 1/4" plate spacers. That would work if the wheel studs were longer. 3/8" of threads ain't enough. So... I ordered 1" wheel spacers (the style with studs) which is the minimum width available and a set of 3/4 poly spacers for under the brand new but short rear springs. I'm currently driving it on my girly 20's, looking pathetic, slightly misaligned till Monday or Tuesday when I get to see how much further out the tires stick out than I'd have liked. Fantastic oh, yeah... the center caps aren't as advertised, are ugly, don't fit over hub and will end up in the dumpster...

 

That sucks man. Just gotta keep after it until everything works right I guess

 

Pictures?

 

I am sorry to hear you define your masculinity by rim size.

 

Of what? I have better things to do than make up crap on the internet if that's what you're suggesting

 

This is why we can't buy leaded paint anymore. This forum is full of a bunch of assclowns which is unfortunate. See ya

 

Sorry to hear about all this stuff. I think the rule of thumb is to try and stick with products that have been tried and tested over and over again. It might cost a little more....but as you can see...it only takes one Clown saying "oh yeah, it'll fit", no problem....and then you are here. Lastly, going to shops that have done it before also helps. Hang in there pal! At least you can bring back to stock if you don't like any of it.

 

Deep breaths buddy. In… out… “Pics” is a common post/request when a problem/challenge is described. No one’s out to get you.

 

Lol, what an ass. Good riddance. Don’t come whining for help and get all butthurt when a simple question is asked. Bye.
