mine catches the arch when reversing on full lock, but not when going forwards on full lock (well, it catches, but not badly)
but then i do have about 2mm clearance between arch and tyre

i think that its because when youre going forwards the tyre it hitting the arch on the smooth bit where it meets the wing, so it glides over with just a bit of creeking... but when youre going back its getting caught on the open lip...
