I do have 1 1/4 inch spacers. I don't have any rubbing issues. I'm not sure about 35's. If you go with the 35's let me know how they work out. I'd like to have 35's myself.
Ok.....so I finally got around to replacing my clock spring. It was definitely the culprit. I replaced it with the one from Rock Auto that was less than $40. So far it's working fine. Time will tell.
