10.5 Rim tailpipe rub
Ugh finally got the 17 x 10.5 Rs on, and now the tires rub the tailpipes and are burning the hell outta them. Anyone have these rims?
I suppose I can try to have them rehung or take them off altogether...anyone have any ideas??? ------------------ Elisha (Mustang Chick Extraordinaire) 1994 GT/Saleen: Cartech intake,4.10s, full exhaust, pulleys, Compucar nitrous kit 125 shot Sold the 1986 LX sedan  http://www.geocities.com/mustangbelle_306 AOL name: GT306Chick |

You could always go with side exhaust, or dumps.

Pull the pipes in with wire to keep them from sliding back over while driving. Thats what I did and it works fine now.

What kind of backspace is on those wheels? I have 17x11 Centerlines's w/315-35/17's on the back and have had no issue with rubbing! I even have the quad shocks still on there with room (albiet little) to spare.
