    Hi all,
    I recently picked up some schmick 20 inch versus wheels after fitting and driving it i noticed the left rear is scrubbing and there is no gap, i've done my research and by the looks of it if my diff needs to be centered it usually causes the rear drivers side the scrub! Would a adjustable panhard rod fix it or will i need extras? I have super lows all round
    rear tyre size 245/45 & front 225/45

    I paid $108 for a whiteline one from eBay. Shop around, $180 sounds right for a Nolathane one tho.

    a 225/45-20 is a pretty tall tyre (about an inch and a half taller at the tread than say a 245/45-18). I'm surprised it does not hit the spring perch on the strut but you are out there doing it so it must not.......must be close though.

    when I got the wheels the other day I didn't check the tyre size and put one of the 245/45-20 on the front right and drive off tyre started smoking sounded like a f****n train man " i was like fark me tyre" whoops" but yeh the 225/45 on front are great enough clearance at full lock tho it rubs slightly but driving there fine, less u- turns now haha
    I went from 16 inch VX spac wheels to these huge 20's and it's a massive change for me :)
