RS7 alloy rubbing on fiesta rs turbo
Can any one help me please?? My brother has just brought a fiesta rs turbo and have fitted RS7 16 inch alloys, but rear passenger side rubbing on the cup part (where the spring sits) of the damper but not rubbing on the otherside? tried 10mm and 15mm spacer but still rub?? have got 205/45/16 tyres. dont really want to buy more tyres as just brought brand new ones.

Cheers mate but still don't understand why only one wheel was rubbing? Selling the rs7's now prefer the azev a's. Found some in 15" but et is 30 would these fit? Cheers

the car could be twiested ? or have the wrong size shock on the back , i know the mk5 fezz have a larger cup for the spring to fit in on the front so maybe the same on the back ?

cheers ben having nothing but trouble at the moment but thats the joys of buying an old car lol. We changed the wheels over and put 195/45/16 on the back not rubbing any more but still abit closer the cup on passenger rear than drivers rear? Went the change the thermostat yesterday and there wasnt one in there . Put a new one in and is still over heating really quick. the rad kicks in like normall so take it the head gasket has gone or is on its way out? head gasket getting done thursday as well as being skimmed if im right?

Haven't really drove the car far because it over heats too quick and when you stop I have to wait a good half hour to start it again because it want start? But water level seems ok? It's had t3 upgrade and side mount intercooler fitted.
