Default Now my turn with SC430 Wheels.


Finally sold my old 17" 5 zigen Heldfield, and had decide to switch to the SC430, i had been looking around for "DISH" style rims for a long time, but most of them is our of my budget, therefore i finally settle for the sc430 wheel w/o burning too much cash..

Good move on selling your old 17s and upgrading to a set of SC wheels. Although they are the ho-hum pie plated design, I think the wheels bring out the appearance of your TRD skirts

i think the 5 mm spacer is the problem why your are rubbing... and i believe it is rubbing your rear fender ( Stick out too much), try switch it to 3 mm.. it should be perfect..

thanks, can't wait to fix the rubbing problems. i just ordered some tein s-techs too. where did you get your 3mm spacers? there are a few on ebay but only from overseas. it's definately rubbing my fenders and you can see small cuts in the tires.
