wheels rubbing
hi guys
i dont know if its just me being picky but my 14in mondeo wheels are rubbing like hell on my 1.1 5 door, also ive tryed my dads capri 4 spoke alloys and they are 13in but they have big tires but they rub even more
does anyone have any suggestions to how to rid this or is it just something ill have to live with?
the other thing i was gonna try is the xr2i alloys but i have some douts now
thanks alot Jon

Re: wheels rubbing
if your anywer near gloucester i hav an arch rolling tool
if your not then bodyshops are going to charge upwards of 100quid and quite often thats just for 2arches to be rolled
alternativly..
fit smaller tyres
hammer the inner lip up same job as a arch roller but not as neat and definatly crack the paint on the arches
edit... it could also just be down to the offset of the wheels,,, non-fiesta wheels are most likely going to need a bit of work to fit cos they will never sit as they should
