Why do my tyres rub!!
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2011 6:39 pm
Hi,
I have some 13x7 rims with -13mm offset and a048 205 60 13 , yet they rub on lock.
The car has flared arches so you would think it clear OK, I have also tried dropping the front down but I am limited by the springs and suspension.
Any Ideas I am at my wits end with this dilema.
Do I have the wrong rims for the car?
TIA
Emil
Rims measure 200mm wide so that means -13mm offset.
Struts are MK2 escort with Bilstiens, threaded section 50 mm down from top of strut, currently have some 200lb 8 inch springs installed
