    Question strut clearance

    On my rear struts I noticed I only have maybe 1" to 2" clearance from the rims which are 17" with low profile NEXEN rubber. Do you know of anything I can do to increase that clearance? When I have enough posts I'll post a pic of what Im talking about. Any help would be appreciated
    thanks/later/Bruce
