Re: My tires are rubbing really bad! duck like noise

Thanks for the correction Shawn, :)
I first assumed Dan meant it was rubbing on the outter fender in which case
you would need to move the wheel "into" the body with a larger offset. After
re-reading his post it almost seems like he is talking about rubbing on the
shock or inner fender in which case spacers would help to move the wheels
out.

So Dan, is it the inner or the outter....inquiring minds wanna' know. :-)
