Canada Wheel Spacers

Hey Guys,

I have a problem since I put some sport wheels and tires on my Corolla 04, and now that I lowered the car with an Eibach Pro-Kit it is more common. The tires rub with the part that holds the springs at the bottom when I go fast (over 75 mph). Will spacers do the job? What about the spacing between the arch and the tire once the tires are spaced, is there a chance of rubbing with that? What kind of spacers can I get if that's a solution? Where to find them?

Thanks!

From what I understand, right now you're rubbing the suspension?

If so, then spacers will probably solve it.

Only get 5mm or so to start out since you need a good 6-7 turns on the lug nuts for them to be secure.

There's always a risk of rubbing the outer fender as well, but that's not so bad because you can always get your fenders rolled or pulled out.
