center the tires inwards about 1/4" too much, causing the inside edge to rub
during bumps.
Thank you Chris!
The roadster's rear is low. It's built that way. It's meant to be that way.
I didn't relise this fact at first and had my springs re-arched. All I had
after that was a funny looking, strange handling roadster. Wheel and tire
size is critical on a roadster. there wasn't much allowance built in. You
CAN monkey around with the rear suspension to get by, but, it's much better
to get it right in the wheel/tire selection in the first place.
I returned my springs to spec and got rid of my incorrect Z wheels and the
problem was solved the right way.
