I think it will help but you might fix one problem and create another problem because you push the wheel farther out with 10 mm spacer.


That's something you will know after install the 10 mm spacer. Good luck.

I assume they're rubbing on the spokes. How close is it. Can you get by with a smaller spacer (if a smaller spacer exists)? What wheels are you using?

A 10mm spacer is going to change your effective offset from 35mm to 25mm. With that offset, I think they're going to rub unless the tires are narrower than 225s. The spring pad isn't going to make much difference. Even if you raise the fender a bit, they'll still rub over bumps and during moderate to heavy cornering.

The next smaller would be 5 mm. I do not recommend 5 mm spacer because it not "hub-cemetric" (no lip). It will cause vibration due to the wheel is not center onto the hub. You can alway order custom spacer.

I agree.

Hmmmm. CLK&SLK. Is that you, Linh?
