Why use spacers.. thatll push the wheels out even further?!?

If you've debolted the rear arches, and filed the metal back a bit, there aint much else you can part from get stuck right in with an angle grinder!

photo looks dodgy.. shop?

i dont mean put spacers on the wheels. i mean instead of debolting or triming bk the bolt. just but washers on the plastic arch bolt then the plastic arch sits out a wee bit(more clearance) and the end of the bolt doesnt stick out and rub. also cant c pics
