Problems: 96 WS6 Wheels

Hi,

I wanted to install 96´ WS6 Wheels on my front. I have use LS1 brake discs and 50mm(1,97") Spacer. Now I have the problem that the tie rod end grinds on the rim. Are there narrower tie rod ends or other steering knuckle?

96-01 Polished WS6 Trans Am Wheels
Size : 17" x 9"
Backspacing : 6.875"
Bolt pattern : 4.75"

no, you need slightly larger spacers, or if its not touching the tie rod by much, you can grind the spindle a little, but just a little, too much and you can have a failure
