Default Vredestein Ultac 255/45/18

I was thinking of changing my worn out Toyos for these Vredesteins. Look pretty cool.

I've got to make sure that they don't rub the upright when mounted even tho' I use ABT 10mm spacer. I got a set of Avon ZZ1 and put the first one front, and it rubbed the upright. Had to send all four back. D'oh!

Default You could try a wider spacers
I first used MTM 15mm no problems with rubbing, but wasn't satisfied with the look . I now have 20mm FK Automotive B+ System spacers.
