Hi everyone. Running 23mm rear spacer on a stock 1983 SC. I like the way the car looks and sits but the tyres rub slightly over speed bumps on the outer fender edges. Needs some ideas on options I have to solve the problem. Thinking of rolling the fender edges slightly of replacing the rear shocks? Sachs shocks any good?

Smaller spacers before deforming body I would say

Amber Gramps

Smaller spacers

More negative camber

Stiffer T-bars

....not necessarily in that order.

I would not go anywhere near rolling the fenders.

Smaller spacer have a clearance issue with the bolts on the back of the alloys. Will try the negative camber as the first option. Any recommendations on rear shocks? Sachs any good as a replacement for the rear?

Amber Gramps

Adapters??? What bolts and the back of what alloys???

I would not stoop to Sachs shocks. Bilstein HD's if it's a street car and Sports if it is used for fun. My Rear Bilstein Sports go back to Bilstein on Tuesday for modern valving.

Using adaptors not spacers. Sorry for the confusion. Less than 23mm adaptor the adaptor bolts stick out a little and the alloys would not sit flat.
