Default Tire Rub & Alignment

I have a 2003 Club Car Turf 2 I have put a 6" lift kit with 10" wheels I have two problems the first one is the tire is hitting the under carriage of the cart on the driver side when I make tight turns. The second issue is how do you align the fires after you install the lift kit. Thanks in advance for any assistance in the post. Harry

How do you put them on? And where do you get them?

Personally, I think spacers may cause more of a problem depending on where the tire is rubbing, and how large the tire is!
My tire rubbed (w/spacers) on the plastic air box snorkel mounted inside the drivers side wheel well, and I had to take them off!

As for aligning the front end, it all depends on which lift (spindle/A-arm) you put on,
and normally, the kits have instructions on how to align them after installation.

After I installed my spindle lift I got some tire rub. They only rub at full turn so my fix is going to be by adding a mechanical stop. I may lose a little turning radius but not like I am out racing this thing on a tight rock course or something

Since you have a Spindle lift, the factory eccentric adjustment should still work for the Camber,
Here's Club Cars instructions for Camber and Toe in:

Note: click on one of the thumbnails, then "right click" on the pic, click on "save image as" and save them to a picture file,
then you should be able to open them up in that file to expand and read them!
