Default Re: Rubbing with foam tires

You can widen the width of the car, as mentioned above, with different hexes or even by creating simple hex-shaped shims out of lexan. (Use those lexan shims in between the standard hex and the wheel to obtain the desired width). You can also replace the shock eyelets with ball ends and ball studs on the arms which will give you more clearance. You can also glue a small washer to the inside of your steering spindle to act as a travel stop.
