I just ordered the satv front a arms and was reading reviews. One of these said that the a arms would not work with factory 12" wheels. Is this true? If so is there any way to cheat this.

It will rub on 12” rims

Need spacers or larger rims.

Thanks for the reply. What is the smallest spacer that will keep from rubbing? Also plan to add 5+2 wheels when the budget allows what spacers are recommended to keep the track width the same.

I’ve got SATV arms and 12” stock wheels on a P1000-3. It only rubs on the passenger side for some reason and it’s only at full lock. If I let off the steering wheel just a 1/4” it doesn’t rub. Been that way for a couple years now and hasn’t bothered a thing.

If you wanted a spacer for the front, get a 1” spacer. That will definitely cure any rubbing. Then move that spacer to the back tires to even the track width after you get 5-2 wheels.
