RX2 Fender Rubbing Problem

I knew that this would happen when I changed out the pulled out fenders, but I not too sure how to proceed. I was planning on using 175/60/13 in the front and 185/60/13 in the back. Any suggestions?

I could possibly remove/replace the spacer?





Also hits the fender when I turn, these are 205-60-13

So um, I can't help you with your fender but... I believe I see a boosted Nikki. Do you uh, want to talk about it? Maybe leave the other thread for help with suspension/fender stuff and focus on the carb stuff here? In this thread? You know, if you want to.

I posted in suspension section also, but since this is in the old school section. I thought others might have a solution.

As for the boosted Nikki, Rotary Shack has them..

Oh, ok. I run a boosted Nikki myself. I was just wondering if you had any closeups of the carb or any jetting/tune information. Maybe a peak inside. But if not, that's ok.

I haven't taken any pictures.
I am reading your Manifesto "hogged out vs boost prepped (Nikki) " thread, interesting.
Yes, Robert at Rotary Shack did the work for previous owner minishowcase | gallery

I can see when I will be out there with enough light.

You can have a rim shop make them 4x110 so you can lose the spacer/114.5 adapters , or trade me for some 14" red revolutions that are 4x110

Yeah, I haven't taken that step of taking it to a rim shop, yeah the disc can be probably drilled to 4 x 110. I would hate to lose the width but I can put some cheap tires in the meanwhile.

Thanks for the offer, I think I will work with what I got, the 14 might give me the same problem.
