02 Firehawk.....NEED HELP! Just purchased this beauty and the previous owner had the rear firehawk wheels widened from the 9.5 to an 11". Ok the part i need help with is that there is already a 1/2" spacer there but the tire/wheel still rubs the inner fender well while im turning or hit a bump in the street or mild/full acceleration. Is there anything I can do to make this problem going away without getting crazy beating the fender well in or paying a freaking shop to do something?

It centers the whole rear axle assembly, after that you may have to get the hammer out.

OK car looks great and I'd just band on it a little, the 1/2" spacer look great on the car. I wouldn't go any wider because it just looks a little funny...
Here is my question, the factory firehawk rims are 9" wide...You said you had them widened to 11", does that mean you added two full inches or did you tell them to widen it 1.5" so it would actuallt be it 10.5" since you thought the rims was 9.5"????
