Postby jonyb4 on Mon Aug 18, 2008 7:05 pm

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

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
