Issues Installing 17" zr1 rims
I just got done installing a few parts on my 89 formula..it's the fourth time I have done at least this much work to suspension, but never had this problem.
Installed -
Poly sway bushings and links front and rear
Wonder bar
STB
KYB GR1 shocks/struts
Poly torque arm bushing, poly trans mount
Drilled slotted rotors
LCA/panhard set (still waiting for these to arrive)
Lowering springs
And the problem - 17"x9.5" Zr1 ims (56mm offset). Installed 2" spacer in the rear - no problem. Installed 2" spacer in the front and both tie rods hit the rims. Bought 2.25" spacers for the front and now the drivers clears, and the passenger BARELY Clears, and touches during a full lock turn (I think full right)
Any ideas? Why would one side clear and the other hit??
Thanks in advance for any input!!
