Is this a common thing?

Thanks!

naluboy's photo gallery 		Yup, it's a common thing. I know it did with mine, in fact it still does a little. Did you get it aligned? When I first had the kit installed it rubbed quite a bit, but after I got it aligned, it rubbed less. You could probably add spacers to offset the wheels a little more. What kit did you get?

Where do you get the spacers?

naluboy's photo gallery 		You can get spacers at most automotive shops. It looks like this:

You just have to make sure it has the same bolt pattern 6 x 139.5 and the center bore is large enough to fit the H3's center hub. Also try not to get it to thick 1/4" at max. anything wider brings up some safety concerns...

GreenH3's photo gallery 		Is there a performance reason they designed the H3 to be not level??

naluboy's photo gallery 		The reason that was explained to me... Steering stability in the front when you're towing something or carrying a heavy load in the back...
