[surfenstein]

Mandy said the same thing.Have you been talking to her today.I may get the hammer onto the end of the sill just to make a bit of clearance.It's these rims thats the probs but i will sort out the rubbing before someone says they'll have the rims

to much possy offset

i think so.but who cares a little longer steering stops and problem solved

[marky]

I will leave them as they are for the time being apart from getting muddy that is, but once they start rusting they will go black.I will have to sort this rubbing prob tho as it gets on my nerves if i forget and put it on full lock.
I am getting a full alignment done on Monday.
It cost me £40 to have the tyres fitted and balanced on the new rims which i thought was a good price.I was lucky tho as the garage that fitted them don't normally fit tyres if they haven't been bought from them

I had that problem with 16" rims on my old Truck so i ground the bolt heads down a bit.

i think looking at it the tyre is just catching the edge of the sill so its got to be longer steering stops anyway and perhaps the hammer on the edge of the sill just so the tyre clears it

thats what i thought.it is only just catching the edge of the tread.Once the tyres have worn a bit they'll be ok so i might put up with it for a time and see how the wear goes

not if you rip the arch off completely and go for that "naked look"

a wheel spacer and a change of offset and bob's your wifes aunties husband

Mine were rubbing in the same spots yours are. Fixed it with a stanly knife to trim the plastic and a hammer to smak the bolt back a bit.

[stormforce]

i'll let you all know how it goes in a couple of days after i have had a bit of a trim up and a knock about with the hammer.

Charvel did you adjust the steering stops also?
