Icon2 WELD WHEELS FITTING ISSUE!



Hello to everyboby,

i've bought a pair of 13 x 9 weld part#768-30915 and when i try to fit them they "touch" the caliper and seem a 5mm or more spacer is required.
Do someone have had this problem? Is it ever possible? How can i fix that?

Seems to me also the clearance between the suspension arm and the rim is to small, is this part# correct for an eg?

Is there on the marker a differen hub that fits without a spacer?

Thx for help!!!!!

I think if i grind down the caliper it will be destroied! i miss about 10 mm. If i'll do this the wheel will collide with the arm! Are both of you sure is the same
part# are we speaking?

thx

Take some washers, put them on the studs, put the wheel on and see how many washers it takes to clear the caliper. Then measure the stack of washers.

Get the right spacer. Don't use the washers. You get more stability with the spacer. I got mine off of Ebay.

I did the same exact thing and worked out perfect with the 1/4" spacer. Make sure you have extended lug nuts.

I'm going to buy spacers but i think if i grind the caliper it will going to broke.
i need 10mm spacers that is more than 1/4 tho have 3mm clearance between caliper.
I've placed 2 washers for a total thickiness of 6mm ad the wheel touches a little the caliper. I think Eu calipers are little different for US one that's why i need 10mm
