Is there any option for reducing the thickness of the hub/spacer without changing any other components? I would like to bring my front wheels in about 3/16" - 1/4" on each side. I've haven't looked into this before so I hope it's not a stupid request. I have a minor rub at hard cornering over very bumpy turns.

 

Is fender rubbing the problem ? if so, rolling the fender lip should correct the issue.

 

David,
I'm not sure, no obvious marks yet on the liner or metal. It's only at near full wheel lock so rolling the lip might not help me. I've run this setup for 4 months now and these were the first incidents. It might have been a combo of extreme late braking stupidity on my part and a few very tight downhill blind turns. I figure can live with it 99.9% of the time. I have about 1/2" on the inside to play with before the tire/spring clearance becomes a problem. After seeing some of the bad hubs in earlier posts I was just wondering if such a part was available without replacing other components.

 

What wheel/tire/offset comination are you running?

There's quite a bit of room in the wheel well, especially if you use 2-1/2 inch diameter springs.
I have run a 265-16 tire on a 9 inch, 40 mm wheel (D-90) on frontof an early offset 951. There was some rubbing on the inside at full lock, but there was plenty of room on the outside.

More negative camber can give you more room between the tire and fender lip, but it will reduce the tire/spring clearance.

 

The offset for the CCW wheels are shown as backspacing (6.75"). This is the optimum offset John makes up for all 9" early 951's. You bring up a good point about the full lock rubbing on the inside (I didn't really look for inside rubbing). I run 255-40/17(F). I'll pull a wheel and see what shows up. I guess I shouldn't bother over it too much if it's only under the worst conditions.
