rs500 centrelocks arch rub
Hi folks,i bought a set of image centerlocks for my 500 and they rub the arch's on the front.By the marks on the tyre i think i need to lose about 17mm on the offset but only have about 5-6mm that i can have turned off the wheel.Anyway it has been suggested that i could fit some adjustable bottom arms and give the wheel some negative camber and i wondered if anyone else had done this and if so did it make it look or handle rubbish.
P.S sorry if this is a daft question but i have never had this problem before so all new to me.

It could be a risky option going for the arms IMO. You could fit them, and find it still catches as there's a limit to how much camber you want to run. If you do go for that option, check with Lacey's mate to make sure you're running the same measurements - if you are job done.
If not I wouldn't have thought that trimming the arches wouldn't affect the resale value - and it does look awesome sitting like it does now. Go on, get 'em cut!

What size wheel and tyre are they ?
If they rub at the front it may not help to have a bit of neg camber , its more usual to have to adjust the front of the wing where it joins the car , mind you if you trim the arch ,use some adjustable lower arms and compression struts you can put the wheel where you want it .

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
I am going to make the adaptors for my cars as I want them to go through the bearings like the genuine ones this will also allow me to dictate the position of the wheels
