wheel back spacing issue

[vincentgt2]

So i picked up a set of 4 lug cobra r rims they are 17 x 9 and im having an issue in the rear with backspacing and im trying to find a 1/2' inch four lug wheel spacer and im not having much luck and ive also heard that that dangerous to run on a four lug. Any thoughts on the best solution to get these rims on relatively safely? THey also have new tires and the tires i have now have no tread left.

Is it hitting the quad shock? If so put on a beefy set of control arms and lose the quad shock and you'll be fine

+1 on what dan said. What size tire you running?

[vincentgt2]

it would clear the quad shock if i flipped the shock. and the tire is a 275 nitto. It is the exhaust that is causing the rubbing..

Possible i've seen guys hit the exhaust with the back tires but you just have to adjust the exhaust around

You can try and bend the exhaust out of the way. My exhaust hits the body. Going with dumps is another option. That's what I'm eventually gonna do.

either go with the spacer....or carefully have the pipe bent. i had the same problem woth a 03 v6. so i had the pipe bent in order to save money instead of buying the wheel spacer. turns out the shop bent the pipe toooo much and caused alot of restricted exhaust flow. so i had to replace a pipe and just buy the wheel spacers

i ended up just dumping it. its a little loud but im on a budget being a college student and i think the lx looks mean with a nice wide tire and dumps
