how do i stop the front wheels caching my arches when im going round courners it is realy anoying and i get funny looks ha

i know you can tilt the wheels in wards but does it knock your tracking out and does that make a difference any way by tilting the wheels in .

Is it on 16s

My XE had the inner arches (metal) trimmed and a smidge was shaved off the plastic too.

I didn't do it so i couldn't tell you how much to take off etc. ask at a body shop.......

I had speedlines on but i can't remember the tyres, low profile though obviously.

I'm sure someone else will reply though.

I have this same problem with mine only on the front left when going around right hand corners. Makes a hell of a bang like hitting a pothole. Running 16s with 195/45s. Been told its due to having slightly different spring rates. Looking at changing my camber as i noticed when it was on a lift a few days ago its at about 0 to maybe even positive
