Title: WIDE WHEELS!!!!
Post by: anil398 on 09 September 2006, 19:31

OK BASICALLY I HAVE PUT ON MY 17" 7.5J SIZE WHEELS AND NOW I HAVE NOTICED THE THE FRONT WHEELS AE STICKING OUT OF THE ARCH WHICH IS NOT LEGAL.
SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY THING I CAN DO TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
ANY IDAEAS WOULD BE GREATFUL.

If you mean they are sticking out at the top of the wheel arch then you need to sell them and buy some that fit properly. No anount of allignment is going to fix wheels that have the incorrect offset for the car they are fitted to.

Sorry dude,

Sorry, thats right, I had assumed you have the correct offset. You want to check your wheels offset is around ET33. It should be stamped on the inside of the wheel somewhere. If its out the you may as well sell em
