I've recently bought and fitted a set of black 17" Soft spoke RS7 alloy wheels, and now when the car is on full lock, it rubs and also rubs on the rear arches as well

Has anyone else had this problem??? If so what did you do??? did you roll or cut away the arches etc etc.

The car is also to be dropped 25mm soon on Koni shocks and Cobra springs, which i'm sure won't help the suituation but the car is totally standard underneath and the suspension needs replacing!!! lol

Any help would be appreciated!

After fitting 17's its normal to get rubbing under full lock and the wheels are 7.5x17 so they will rub, if its not to bad you will be ok.

Nice one, i'm hoping it will be ok, just not used to the rubbing after always having the standard wheels on up until now!!!

This is how it looks now tho..........

roll your arches,
wont catch then

some catching on the rear may be due to the nakered suspnsion

I ground my arches personally, just have to make sure you seam seal them and then properly paint them after,

Dont just let the tyres rub, you arches will rot away very quickly.

lol!!!!!!! cheers Jon!

Yeah, i know what i said lol, but i kept to it for nearly 3 years!!

... the problem is i've always loved these wheels on my mate's Sapphire Cosworth, so when he said he was selling them, i couldn't resist!!! lol
