I've justed fitted a brand new set of RS 7 Spoke alloys to my S2 RST. On the first outing with them there seems to be a slight knocking noise coming from the back tyres and a rubbing noise from the front whilst braking, there seems around and inch of clearance between tyre and arch.
I installed the wheels using the original nuts from the standard alloys, have I done anything wrong or forgotten to do something?

I can't see where they're catching though, there seems enough clearance around all tyres?
Hows the new engine running? I'm going up to see Stu next Saturday to 'chat' about rebuild plans!

***t! Just had a look back through previous posts, apparently you should change the collets? Some additional ones arrived with the wheels, not sure how to use them though?
