rubbing wheel

[eskiboy]

i drive a mk2 nova and recently got new wheels (vulcans) with 195-45 15 bf goodrich tyres.
they look the nuts but they rub like f*ck on the right rear arch when theres a person in the back.
its only on the right wheel so im not sure if its the arch or some kind of susspension fault.
any suggestions would be very welcome
thanx

peace out!

yep, my rear right arch rubs like buggery with people in (even with arch mods). Try rolling/grinding/flaring your arches as the first step.

Is you car lowered? What is the ofset of the wheels

PM's are for that!

The right arch may just be not as wide as the left due to manufactering tolerences!

one of my 17s rubs a bit

i reckon the offset on that one wheel is slightly out

gotta do some more grinding when i get time :D

FFS LOL

the way the post read i thought u ment on the wheel

read again i assume u mean your arches? :?

telerence of the right soide of the car is diff to the left one - my right wheel buffs on the side wall. Think its to do with location of fuel filler and arch is narrower (?) inside

Grind arch back (leave about 3-5mm though) - if still buffs dont let people in the back!

or take to a garage and have them stretch it slightly
