Has anyone experienced tire rubbing on the trailing arm with the new Hoosiers.

I ran A3S03 last year without spacers in the rear and there was no contact. I just renewed the rears last week and at the first event, they got real blue as they worn against the trailing arm.

I know I can run rear 5mm spacers to correct this, but my question is, how will this affect the cars tendancy to oversteer when provoked?
Already I was concerned that the car would not rotate with the new grippy Hoosiers and know that I discover that they are wider and may need a spacer, I am not sure what to expect.

Any comments?

 

You won't even know they are there.....

 

I have only had slight rubbing on the trailing arms with my 205 S04's. It was from a high speed transition. That is the only time I had rubbing on the rears. If you run on concrete you will want to invest in the spacers.

I have some evidence of rubbing with 205 A3S04's and 5mm spacers. Get the spacers. As for getting the rear to rotate...I've finally figured that out. I gradually upped the rear pressures to 65 psi with little change. When that didn't work, I went down to 33, and the rear came alive.
