Irs Bolt?

[SN8KBITN]

How will i now if i'm rubbing the IRS bolt with my wheels? I just put on 18x10 saleens in the rear with 295/35/18 BFG's. There seems to be room when i stuck my hand back there, but I just want to be safe! Anyone running this settup? thanks

When your tires blow out.

While the suspension is loaded you should not rub the bolt with your setup. But would be kinda of scary if you ran over a mean bump at higher speeds causing the suspension to unload and the fast spinning tire rub against it. I would grind down the bolt or get some MM IRS Bolts. Wheels spacers are also an easy option. I would get one or the other.

Jack the car up where the wheel is freely hanging down. See if it's close or touching then. IF it is; see RAZRS EDGE comments above.

what size spacers? i jacked the car up and have about a finger thickness clearing the bolt.

Then you are fine and don't need spacers! :thumbsup:

With your wheel/tire combo, I don't think you'll have any clearance issues to worry about.

If you're concerned about it get MM's bolts (or better their subframe bushing kit). The pan-head allen-drive bolts that come with will give you a bit more clearance.

You should be fine. The majority of the problems come from 17 X 10.5 inch wheels. It seems like the 18 inch wheels don't have the IRS issue.

I have 295/35/18's and am lowered about 1-1/2". No rub.

If you raised the car and can get your finger in there, then you don't have a problem.

I had the same wheel with 315's on it with no rub. You are fine, don't worry.
