so you need to change tyre size or get another set of wheels with a better offset to push it away from the strut, or you could use wheel spacers
Hmm. I'll space them out. Only problem is, that since its the wrong spring on the back, they're too close to the arch atm. when tidy ones are fitted then I can out on proper stance.
Oh and fyi, didn't realise they were wrong until I did research. Was only iffy to me after the back went lower than the front. Then found they are for the fork type strut used on earlier fiestas. Contemplated changing the rear axle, but then I thought to myself that would be absolutely stupid. Lol.

Thanks for the advice.
