rubbing

[InSoMnIa]

how come 172 wheels are rubbing on my mk2 ph2 mostly the back ive noticed ?!?!?!?!?

wrong offsets. so you need some spacers for the back to stop it rubbing, and some spacers for the front to make it look better.

only put them on yesterday not done many miles in it only to scrappers today got my self a pair of 172 rear mub gards for a tenner when i took the wheel off i noticed the bolt that holds the gards on was rubbing on wheel so ive cut it off

was it motor spares? have they still got the rear bumper on that cup?

so has the 172 got a wider track then the standard cli othen ? also would i be able to fit the complete strut including the hub to mine or will the drive shaft not fit?

 

[InSoMnIa]

yup

not seen a cup with climate control before

from memory (so not really sure) the ordinary ph2 is circa 37, and the 172 wheels are about 45. so do you ideally need a spacer

yeh it is a wider track... 25mm spacers do the trick... a thee front and 7 i had on the back of mine and it would still rub sometimes

so the rear bumper is still on it?
