Guest wacker Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi,I got a 1948 Roadmaster Sedanette running 8.20-15 Firestone tires and the 6.5" inch rims. This should be around the stock setup and still I do get clearance problems between the tie rod and the tire.When the car is on the ground the clearance is less than 1/8" and in some situations it seems to rub the tire.How much clearance are you getting on your setups on the same model?Right now im running with washers behind the steering arm to get some extra clearance but I cant understand why im having this problem. Are the Firestone 8.20s much broader than the old 8.20s?Im thinking about finding some 6.0" inch rims to get rid of this problem.
