Only 3 of my rims fit properly... Help.
Monday, March 08, 2010 6:35 PM
ok so the question of the day is what would make my front passanger side rim stick out like a half inch or so further then my drivers side. I purchased new rims for my car but only 3 fit. Im on bags and when its layed out the front passanger rims hits the fender lip. I have the lips cut out as far as they can go and the drivers one tucks perfectly. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or has any ideas as to what it might be.

yea i think you pulled the strut out more when you tighten down the strut bolts.

Like the top three bolts? I was under the assumption that the strut bolts fit tight enough to where it would be in a set position any time you put it in. Its not just the wheel leaning its the whole actual wheel. I thought about trying to get them to camber in a little bit more to tuck it but tires for twenties are expensive and i want to try and fix it right. Ill have to check the bolts and see so far thats the best thing i guess i could try. Thanks.

maybe a bad offset they may have sent u one diff off set wheel. also if u lossen the top bolt on the bottom of the sturt u can push in a hair and retighten. also could be the bolt is loose and is causing it. check that out.

Hub centric rings not properly seated into the rim. ~Shrugs~ Happened on my brother MR7's.

swap front wheels side for side. if problem moves with the wheel, you know the wheel is the problem. if not, then it's suspension related.
