^yeah and I would never use wheel spacers anyway. I've never fully understood them. If you need them to make your wheels looks right, to me you aren't using the right wheels. It's just one more piece that could fail or cause issues on a part that moves constantly while you drive.

I hope my issues are resolved when I either: 1) Get new, smaller tires in front, but I'm waiting to get the full life out of what I have, they came with the rims, 2) Cut some material out of the fender well, but I would need some direction here as I haven't looked into it yet, 3) attempt to adjust my bumpsteer kit's spacers to see if it will raise the car ever so slightly, or 4) A combo of 1-3.

I need a new steering rack to, and have been looking at "performance" aluminum ones, lighter weight I suppose, and I would get new bushings, and probably even a new PS pump & fluid to get the whole system to 100%. 126k miles gets things worn.

Don't bother with a performance rack unless you're getting a better steering gear ratio its not worth it.

The rack only weighs 10-15 lbs.
Thanks, I've been waiting for that info, haven't looked into it THAT much cuz the money isn't there yet, but that's good to know. Although if I recall correctly price was comparable.

Smaller tires (I don't know why everyone loves thick ass tires up front, I say 245 is even too big) but smaller side wall too, and/or cut some out from the wheel well. There's a piece of it that's rectangular that drops lower than the rest of it, which is where my left-side wheel rubs on. I'm actually gonna attack that today.
