Wheel to strut clearence on 84 v6 question
Hello, my friend owns an 84 stang V6 3.8. He ordered a set of 17" tire and wheel package from a vendor and asked me to install them on. After installing the fronts I noticed that the top of the rim is only 3/16" away from the strut housing. I'm concerned about the small clearence. I have been driving in normally the past few days and rechecked if the wheel had made contact with the sturt housing. I does not seem to touch at this time. I'm wondering if a spacer is recommended as time and wear may bring these two together or on hard turns. Do you think I should installa spacer to move the rim out? Will 1/4" be enough? Also, where can I buy wheel spacers that fit the 84s 4 lug pattern? thanks for any replies.
