Wheel Grindin

[sillysammysnail]

got me new alloys earlier this week, lookin fab!

there are only usually 2 people in car me and mum due to learnin still! however!!! jus dropped my brothers friend home and he and my bro were in back and all you could hear was grindin comin from the tyres as they were rubbin against arches?

i got mk1 saxo, jus went from 13" to 15". anyone else had this problem?

really dont wanna have to take off alloys or not have passengers, need to get this fixed somehow!

any ideas anyone?

reply would be much appreciated!!!

thanks

Dont think I can really help..
Iv got 17s on mine n had NO archwork done and its always scraped like hell! dont have back seats but it happens we i go over bumps n stuff. Tyres look like they have a couple extra unusual treads on them n iv just passed MOT on them so all is good n ill just leave it!

Think ya will just have to have archwork done!?!?

cheers anyways, yeah may look into archwork then when pass test, my wheels are lovely and jus spent few bob on them.

it was alright on way back wit my bro jus sat in middle but his lil mate jus seem to lower it that bit too much!

jus have to limit passengers, it dont do it when jus got front passengers, as long as it don grind when im in to going to work everyday it should be ok!

sound of it made me cringe though! my poor baby tyres!

what saxo do you have?????

would be a start if we knew that

if its a 1.1 you will need to bend the lip thats under the rear arch!

not hard to do either!

[sillysammysnail]

yeh, its a 1.1isx soz! bend the lip? would i be able to do this with my inner strength or would i need some sort of instrument???
