    yeah the mud flaps had a couple screws in them then there were a couple pins in them they were easy to pop off, but the tires are very close to the uca's like a 1/4 of an inch away and when i turn right when getting onto the freeway it rubs something and my traction control kicks in only on the front right though its weird.

    I would suggest getting some new rims or wheel spacers, either that or upper control arms, spacers will be the cheapest route tho, go with hub centric

    somebody told me that the spacers arent good to use because the bolts for the lugs arent long enough or something like that
