It also depends on brand of tire and tire design. Some brands run narrower than others, and some designs are more rounded than square.

Oh ok i get it about the tire and wheel design, as far as i know spacers goes between the whels but im confused though because if the spacers bring out the wheel closer to the fender line since its a thick metal how is it that without spacers it will rub but spacers will help ??? ...sorry if im missing something Supafly i might be understanding the meaning of spacers completely wrong maybe you can point me in the right direction ? Thanks

Shock tower liner? Can you explain more detail? The part on your tire that it rubbed, is it inside or out side of the tires?
