okay folks i need some help to solve this little problem of mines. I have a 1991 240sx with 225/45R17 tires and only one side is rubbing the spring which is the driver side. I was thinking of 5mm wheel spacers but i was wondering why is it only the driver side is it because the shock is worn?

Are you sure it is rubbing the spring and not the body of the car? Most cases of rubbing involve the body. Also, it has more to do with the offset of the wheel more than the tire itself.

Could also be a camber issue if something is a little tweaked on one side. :2cents:
