Default Front wheel scrubbing

Dont know if anyone can help. originally when i got my car (Sierra XR4x4 mk2) it had 17 inch 5 spokes with Avon 205-40-17 tyres. never had any problem before with this but couple of years ago had a small crash and since I have replaced the wheels with some 17 inch RS 7 spokes with the same size tyre. I had the arches rolled to give myself some extra room but since getting my car back on the road when I turn right the edge of the passenger side tyre catches on the back of the arch. Im a bit stuck really just wondered if anyone had had this problem before. could it be when the new wing was attached it was put on a bit low or something. Just such a pain cos can go as fast as I like turning left but turning right I have to be so careful. any advice would be so greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

Juicy

Have you checked your Track control Arms? Either they're bent/fucked, the crossmember is twisted or your new wing is waaaay out
