Although this was when i ran speedlines with 195/45/16's so may or may not be something to do whit it??

Don think neither the Mo's or Cesaro's have touched?

As some say lionel, get it back on the ground and check clearance again then..

I wondered what that was on my track shell! Perfect match lol

Nice progress :)
Is it an 1.2 chassy? I see the front tyres are very close, but maybe it's enough place for a 1.4 or 1.6 anti-roll bar. These are have a cross stabilizer too.

Whadda ya know, when its on the floor it hits the limit on the rack before the wheels make contact. Cheers for pointing this out! So this will be OK for an MOT?

istf it's a 1.4 Luxe+ shell, although it did have a front anti-roll bar on as standard I have removed it as I have heard bad things about their handling characateristics.

You might be ok.

Mine didnt touch on with the car down either and it still failed.
The mot guy checked it with the car in the air, and then with the the suspension under load. And he failed it for "wrong sized wheels causing tyre to rub gearbox and oil pipes when on full lock"
Or something along those lines.

This is why you need to strike a rapport with a garage, or know someone who knows the owners/works there, as most the time unless they are really anal, or don't like the car they will pass anything, as most garages hardly check things like this, but luckily where i take mine they like me and the car and know i need it too be checked properly, but not to fail it on silly things, like the twisted front brake hose, i had to spin mine round for mot, he passed it but said thought he would leave it to me to do etc.

Anything 6"+ wheel touch the gear box (big block)

Most get missed by garages.

Iains wheels are only 5.5J wide though lol

Wont have a prob then will he......
