I've attached a couple of pics to show you what i'm dealing with. My rim is rubbing on my caliper. I have skinny drag lites on the front of my car. I just put a k-member in the car and a manual rack and now its rubbing. It still has the factory a-arms. I had these same rims on the car before and they didn't rub. Did i put something togethor wrong? Its just barely rubbing. Its mainly rubbing on the clips from the outer pads. Please help!

I had the 3.5 in wide drag lites on front a few years back. You need to use some 1/4 in spacers so it will clear the calipers. I don't think those skinny fronts will clear any brakes without a spacer.
