Default Need help/advice on rubbing 11" ZR1

Hey guys I am the the 56/50 combo of AFS ZR1 rims on my WS6. I just had them mounted up today with the BFG KD 315s. The inner most part of the rim is rubbing ever so slightly on the outside of the bumpstop. I rolled the fender lip and took the car for a drive. It obviously works ok, but there is a rubbing sound from that.
I was wondering if anyone here ever had to run a spacer with these type of rims?
What is the smallest spacer I can get?
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM I CAN GO BEFORE I NEED WHEEL STUDS?????

I was thinking about running over to my local speed shop for them and just looking for a heads up before I go. Any advice or experience would be great. Thanx Bear.

slp makes a bump stop spacer that helps out alot and you are gonna also have to beat in the wheel well a little bit is the best way to make it clear those two things will help it out alot

I already beat the well. Thats no longer an issue. The SLP thing I saw wasnt what I THOUGHT I needed. Maybe it is. I need a couple of mm more clearance.

I am not sure these will help. I need space not height. Maybe I am crazy though.

Nothing wrong with 1/2 " spacers...any larger though..look into WHEEL ADAPTERS which have their own studs..they bolt on axle, wheel bolts to them..I have 1" adapters..they are BILLET. also fairly expensive..80-100 $$$$$$ ..each.

Previous searches I've done have said that 5/16" is the maximum you can go with stock studs. I got 1" billet adapters on ebay for $50 a pair. I have the same problem. Should have gotten the lower offset. I'm going to use the 1" for the front and some 5/16 or 1/4" for the rears.

Thanks guys. I was trying to gring down the BS, but my poor little dremel isnt having it. I guess I need some serious tools now.
