Serious problems putting 16s on

[morgansaxo]

Hi guys.
New to the saxo scene, tried putting 16s on my 1.1 3stud 97 saxo all wheels fitted with minor adjustments BUT rear drivers side wheel is making contact with a fuel pipe and now im stumped. the tyres are 45/195/r16.
Has anyone had this problem?
Can anyone give me some advice?
Cheers

youve got the wrong size tyres
you need 195/40/16

that will make the outer diameter smaller and should solve the issue

oh ok. il give that a go. the tyre is actually touching the pipe. will it give it that much clearance? thanks for your help

[morgansaxo]

is it a definate solution mate? have you encountered that problem before?

whats the wheel offset?

[morgansaxo]

im not really sure im now realising how naive i was buying wheels
ive got 10mm spacers on them and they all fit except the rear drivers side.
does that make sense?

[furio09]

cable tie the furl pipe

[morgansaxo]

what should i cable tie it to?
