Lowered, ARB joints rubbing inside of wheel?

Spec as per signature, even with coilovers wound all the way up ARB joints are rubbing inside of wheel!

Spacers?

Yes just a couple of mm will do it.

Did you get your camber set? Sounds like you have a bit of camber problems. I had the opposite and put a nice grove in my new Toyos  :cry:

ah, Grayston via Larkspeed, £25 for a pair of 9mm spacers and bolts.

Its not the camber, the wheels are perfectly lined. It is the ARB, I can see from under the car, its cause I am using such low profile tyres. I need to push the wheels out anyway so 9mm will look smart and allow the wheels to rotate freely without catching the ARB.

Do they come with the longer bolts you need to put through the spacer?
