Wheels scraping on fenders
« on: July 10, 2014, 05:37:46 PM »
I have put a reverse eye leaf spring on my bis and mk1 uno turbo wheels and the front wheels will only turn about a quarter of the way before catching on the front fenders. Will rolling the arches work? Any ideas?

Theyre 175x60r13. My dad said it might be something to do with the tracking

I think 175 is perhaps too wide for the 126. I know 165 will fit with a low profile tyre such as a 55 profile. Plus the uno may well have a different offset so the wheel sits further in to the arch which will also hinder the steering.
