When installing, make sure the spacer is flush with the rotors all the way around. Actual installation is pretty self explanatory.
The actual area of rubbing before the spacers came between the new BFG A/T and my UCA. You can see the are circled in red. This was the case on both sides.
Once the spacers were installed, rubber came from within the wheel well plastics. I had to remove the front mud flaps.
The tires were also rubbing against the plastic on the front which many people cut off, but after seeing a post somewhere (not sure where or I'd give credit), I just moved the plastic forward instead.
On the Driver side, I removed the two screws holding the plastic portion.
Place the clip that was removed and shove the protruding portion into the hole of the black plastic. When you put the plug into the hole, place a screw with a washer in it to keep the plastic from "jumping" up during a big bump and coming loose. This happened to me and I ended up cutting off the plastic wheel well portion that eventually wore off from tire rub.
Put the clip back onto the middle hole and put the screw back in. That's it for the Driver side!
The Passenger side is a little different. Remove the screws holding the black plastic at the bottom, just like the Driver side.
Here, you can see I had to drill a new hole. Once the hole is drilled, move the black plastic and align the hole to the front bumper and attach, using the clips that were taken off.
This is what the Passenger side will look like when you're done.
After the wheel well plastics were moved, I have not had any rubbing issues.
