are there any cheap solutions that will do a good job ive been told wheel spacers but i dont want to have to take them off when driving on the road. another solution ive heard about are offset rims. not quite sure what i should do..
any help would be great.[/img]

If your tyres are rubbing its not going to compress to much more, so a bump stop is a cheap option, or just let it do its thing as alot of people do.

Go the IFS hub spacers on the front. I sell the required spacer rings and bolts for $300 a pair.
