installing Penguin Garage rear hub spacers!

[tk-421]

I just installed my set, but the passenger side is rubbing (I guess I should've made sure I got 2 10mm sets before installation). Also, one of the screws on the driver side (lower-right) did not go through the hole, so I ended up using a shorter one instead. Is that OK?

screw? Do you mean bolt...and are talking about the hub mounting bolt?

it didn't go through? meaning it was too long?


i'm trying to recall if i sent lock washers with your set or not. a lock washer should space the bolt out so it doesn't touch the axle.


are you saying i sent you a 10 and a 13? please double check this, as my counts are still even in my inventory

Yes

The lower-right bolt on my passenger-side rear wheel went in fine, but it didn't go out, meaning that the hole at the other end wasn't large enough to fit the bolt. I ended up using an OEM bolt instead, which didn't go through by 3-4 threads, so I'm a bit worried it may snap.

Could I get a picture of those washers you mentioned?

I am pretty sure I got it figured out now. I had a scrape removed from the passenger side fender a few days ago. Looks like the "ding doctor" ended up flattening the fender area a bit too much, making the tire rub with the fender. I may have to roll it back out a bit to fix that. So I'm 99.99% sure I did get 2 10mm spacers after all.
