Wheel rubbing with new 10.5 bullitts

[OhOneSnake]

I know all about the IRS bolt, but since I'm lowered, I didn't bother with spacers. I just shaved a bit off the bolt in case of a large unexpected bump in the road.

However, I didn't count on the knuckle (I don't know its nomenclature) that the rear tie-rod end bolts to near the brake rotor would be rubbing along the inside of my new bullitt wheels. I got em from stage3 (the Roush place) and put them on last night. I found that I need to shave about 1/8th inch off the corner of that knuckle.

I'll take pictures later when I get off work and go fix this issue.

Anyone else run across this problem?

I can't see any reason why that would rub your wheels.

The wheels, most likely, have the wrong offset.

Yeah, something is wrong. Let me make sure that I understand you correctly. You say that the inside of your wheel is rubbing tie-rod end?

No, the inside of the rear wheel was rubbing the very corner of the "knuckle" that the tie-rod end bolts up to (I believe its called the steering arm).
I had to grind off about 1/8" off of it.

Hmmm, that's weird, I didn't had that problem.
