FPMSL!!!! I'll fourth that!
so the quick skinny;
Your Rear Tire has/had a nail.
you went to get it fixed.
they (the Tire garage) said your wheel is bent(?)
and in order to try to balance it, the put weights on it.
Now you can't put the rear to the front because of the weights?
That's what I get(when using the Yank translator)

17 in MOMO Arrows are 7.5" wide
Therefore you are going to get
wear on the inside of the rim mate.
I have the same
awful problem and am currently looking for
some 17x7" rims , preferably
OZ Superleggera's as they
have plenty of clearence for my AP brakes.
Hope you get it all sorted
and remember that due to the wheel size and lowering
a car you will get tyre wear
problems on the inside of the tyre

You been taking drug mate this post doesn't make much sense

Go to Pro Clean they will fix the buckled wheel & go to Wheel Alignment & ball Joint Centre on Forth Street in Bootle & they'll fix the Camber & tracking.
