bacinman33355 New Member 2 Member For: 3y 4m 25d Posted 03/11/20 05:25 AM Share Posted 03/11/20 05:25 AM (edited) Not sure if this is the right section but I have some 245 35z r20 inch wheels that wont spin on the front of my 2006 BF Falcon, the ones that were on it are the same size and the contact point on the tyre has already been rubbed off so they spin. Both old tyres have been worn equally but is it possible to shift the suspension knuckle where it hits back or up a few mm?

If it's tiny then you don't have far to go, if there is more than a mm or two then you're probably SOL. 2 hours ago, k31th said: use a spacer to move the wheel outwards a few millimetres This could be and probably is the right way to go. Grinding is fine but use common sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have made it work using a 245/35 using a 3mm wheel spacer and grinding the edge slightly. Admittedly I never got it to clear with a brand new tyre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
