alright people ..
bought some mille miglia 1000's off here off Sean-P and he had the same problem with them i think as when i bought the wheels the inner quarter of the tyre was worn down now ive put them on my car they seem to have worn more so before i go by more tyres what should i do ? should i get tracking checked buy spacers or is there anything else i can do to stop it doing that the car is on standard springs i was wanting to lower it by 40mm all round but now
ive noticed that dont think i should
and also where should i buy my tyres the tyres on the alloys now are 205/45-16 is there any cheap places you recomend me to get tyres cheapish as its only is there any cheapo tyres you could recomend dont really need the best of tyres coz its only a 1 litre 12v

i think the say on the back of the alloy ET35 am4nf
and DERV-POWER is it possible to put 195 45 16's on as if it will be better no rubbing i would do that
i got a price for some tyres today cheapest i could seem to find locally was £160 for 4 tyres 205/45-16 fitted & ballanced so will be getting them tomorow i think and will also be going to buy some spacers for the wheels to stop themrubbing they sell them in halfrauds

Thats your problem, even with lower profiles it will still rub
You need wheels ideally with ET49

No, spacers would make it worse.
The reason your wheeks are rubbing is because they stick out too much, spacing them out would only increase the amount the stick out by
Buy some nice vauxhall alloys

Tyre width is down to the width of your wheel, you will find something like 7J on there which means it is 7" wide. 195's wont be a problem in theory unless the 205's are remotely stretched.
Be it ET35/45 you shouldn't be having the inner part of the tyre rubbing on ANYTHING at standard ride height!?!?!

Spacers will NOT give you more clearance.
You need to remove the arches, cut off the retention screws and sikaflex them on if they still rub.
