each tire brand is different width;
each rim type is different backspace; each 914 is slightly different; stiffer springs/shocks will limit movement more; etc. I have experienced rub same as you and I have at least 1/4" static gap. If it's just a minor rub, just try to find or make a 1/8" spacer. If you want to be serious, unbolt the shock and move the tire through the whole useful range of motion while checking for decent static gap. |
