Hey, Since I got my car, it's hard not to notice the wheel rubbung on th guard when I make right turns. Just five minutes ago, my dad said "ever since we did the wheel rotation the other day, have you noticed the passenger side front wheel sticks out past the flare more than the drivers?" He's right. Is that normal? My wheels are 12 x 5 Performance. |

Drums and wheels are all the same. I have no spacers. The drums appear to all be cooper ones (have a large step on them, right?) |

12" wheels with correct spacers shouldn't rub. Simple. |

I put new shocks in last weekend, no fix, next I will crank up the ride height. (not that it's low at all) I have disc brakes going in when I finish them, and they're only going to make it wider again! |

If you have a Mk2 or later UK rack fitted (2.7 turns L-L) the tyres can hit, as these racks give a tighter turning circle. |

rim offset might ruin that theory.......

My wheels are hardly deep dished. Is it possible that the flare isn't mounted high enough? |
