Will a wheel spacer prevent a tire from rubbing on the fender well?

The tire is rubbing on the inside?

Adding a wheel spacer will help if the tire is rubbing on the inside of the fender. If the tire is rubbing on the outside of the fender, you need a wider fender or a narrower tire.

Elliot is right for once

Glad to see Elliot right for once; that means - - - - JRust is definitely wrong on this one. Fact: JRust is always wrong which means Elliot is always right!!

Love to "pick on Mr. Rust". Don't you???


LOL

Just be sure your lugs or lug nuts are long enough and safe to run spacers

Absolute Must!

Example : studs are 14mm thread you must have 14mm of thread protruding to hold the nut,however.....for alloy nuts a like a little more.
You would most likely get away with a shim spacer (6-8mm) unless you have really fat tyres,from memory anything up to 10mm will be ok without the need for longer studs,cheers.

The rule of thumb I was taught:

For steel nuts & studs you want a nut to stud engagement equal to the diameter of the stud. So for a 14mm diameter stud you want a nut the threads on 14mm or almost 10 turns of the nut (1.5mm thread pitch).

For Aluminum nuts on steel studs you want a nut to stud engagement equal to 1.5 times the diameter of the stud. So for a 14mm diameter stud you want a nut the threads on 21mm or 14 full turns of the nut.
