18x8 on a S-10 ?

ok i just put my drop spindals on and im bagged heres the problem the dam tie rod hits the rim any one else have this problem i used some spacers and still hit so i grinded the shit out of the rod and its fine now but the inside off the rim has a big grove in it fuk any one have this problem with the spindals ?

the problem is not exacltly with your spindle like if it were defective...its the fact that the spindle rod itself is now 2" higher, but the eyelet for the tie rod balljoint has to stay in the same location for the suspension geometry to stay correct. now that the actual wheel has been moved up two inches, there will be some clearance problems

i had the same problem with my first set of wheels which were 17x8. they rubbbed like crazy. i eventually went bigger to an 18x7.5 and was damn close.

i got 18x8.5 and have the same problem. but i'm getting 20's, so it should not rub then.

so you guyes grinded that lil part that hit the rim ? i just dont what that thing to brake, all i did was made the bottom round and i had to take the led off the rim and now im good but i thought i had something brake on me when i took it out for a test drive
