i purchased peak performance tie rods w/ spacers for my s13, i put them on and every thing and it feels great when turning at full radius, but when my wheel is turned all the way and i go in reverse my tie rod end scrapes my control arm, how is this? i know that once u put the spacers on ur wheel tends to hit the wheel well depending on the wheel size and offset, but mine doesnt do that at all it clears fine and i have normal tires wit stock rims. if can get some help on this it would be great.
THANKS!!!

its cuase those have a macineed in spacer already, so when you added another spacer, its like having two spacers.

some sites mention you need to mod the control arm to make it work
