Fiesta rubbing

Hi,
I have just done a puma conversion and swapped the front arms. I have a fair bit of rubbing when cornering, I have 195/50/15s on and was wondering if replacing the shocks would fix this problem

Is the car lowered at all? Did it rub before?

Spoken to friend who knows a lot more than I do, he reckons the front arms have a different geometry to the original fiesta ones, try fitting some fiesta ones back on it and that should solve it.

The arms looked the same when I changed them only difference was the brake discs and the abs plugs, it drives nicer and is lower, only bad thing is the rubbing
