Re: [gti-vr6] Spacer Dilemma

[Jeff Newton <Jeff_Newton@pmc-sierra.com>]

I've got the H&R 5mm spacers on the rear with stock wheels and the
infamous GAs.  I still get very occasional rubbing on the right rear
tire from the H&R Coilovers.  

My theory is that the GAs are to blame, thats why I'm doing my best
to burn them off before I get Toyo T1s installed next month.  Actually
its pretty fun driving like a retarded maniac when you *want* to wear
out a set of tires.

David, what size tire on those 17x7.5?  Any fender rub?

Cheers,
