    That was very good. I've been looking at those for a while. You showed everything.

    Thank you for the informative video, can you tell us what you did to fix the rubbing? I know you mentioned in your break upgrade video.; however, you never said what you did. Thank you

      I was able to adjust the inner finder mud guard in just enough to keep it from rubbing most of the time, if the front end lift is up and I go over certain curbs, it might still rub slightly but not enough to worry about thanks for watching, Oh and one more thing that I did not cover that I ended up needing to do was grind off the tips of the factory lug studs because they make contact with the wheel.

      @@70elco28 Thank you, I contacted Paragon, and they said on factory ride height they will rub, the solution is to lower the car. My car is already lowered, to be honest, I only noticed the rubbing when the car was on jacks and pushing the tire all the way over. I have not taken it out since completing the install. So, they may be right. My wheels fit without issue (no lug grinding needed). I got lucky on with that.

    I installed these with 20’s on the front and 21’s on the rear, lifted position definitely causes rubbing on the front

    Did I miss it? You didn’t have to shave the studs in order to get the wheel to fit correctly???

      Actually I didn't know about that the first go around, the next time I had the wheels off, the ungrounded off studs left small impressions at a few places on each wheel, the studs definitely needed it and I strongly recommend it. I have meant to do a follow up video but just haven't got around to it. Thanks for the question.

      @@mikepage0007 I wouldn't grind/alter the wheel, when it's just a 1/16th corner of the very tip of the lugs that need a very minute little bit of shaving.There is another video of a gentleman adding anotherr brand of 20mm bolt on spacers where he notes and shows the very minimal contact the studs make, and the little shavings he did with a hand file to fix the problem.

    Good information, did you have any issues or did you have to re-torque later. Thanks

      @70elco28  Год назад +1

      Did have a couple of issues the very tip of the factory lug stud has to be ground off at an angle because they will make contact with the wheel and I did not do that in the beginning and when I took the wheel off the next time there was several small indentations where I needed to grind off the end of the lug stud and also if you have front end lift on your car the wheels will rub the inner finder when the front end is lifted still not a deal breaker and I love the way the car looks with them
