Getting some LCA rubbing at close to lock with 1.5 spacers on 315s. Would going to a tubular style LCA like the ones pictured stop the rubbing and also benefit from added caster?

1.5" Spring spacers or wheel spacers? Are you running factory wheels?

Factory wheel backspace is 6.25" and it's unlikely that you'll find a lower control arm that will not rub on a nearly 35" tire with 6.25BS. The factory arms will have the most clearance, from what I have seen. The easy solution is a wheel spacer to push the wheels outboard and gain clearance.

Thanks for the reply, they are spring spacers yes factory wheels. I figured wheel spacers would be the answer was just hoping a tubular LCA would do the trick.
