problem with bumping the front tyres to the edge of fender

[Tom_]

Guys, i have a problem with bumping the front tyres to the edge of fender.I changed the front springs for stiffer ones but its almost the same. The wheel gap between tyre and edge of the fender,is around 10cm (i am not sure)...

any ideas?I dont change the wheels and tyres,because the tyres are new and wheels looks good. I am thinking about new widers fenders,but i didnt find any...

Not sure from the pic but the wheel looks to far forward to me, what size wheels you got?

17", tyres 225/45...Tomorrow i get picture ,when u can see, how close is tyre to fender and to the edge

Have you changed the balljoints recently?

[Tom_]

i changed ball joints on the steering and front top mounts

Same problem.With the grey car.Do not want to change wheels or brakes(on rear 10mm spacer needed to clear the porsche calipers and tire touches the fender on big bumps or tight high speed corners)
The black car has no prob as you can see.Front rs2 brakes,rear stock,oz rims no spacers.
Need to be careful what you like

i havent spacers...i have very low offset

Have you had the wishbones off ?

Have you had the wishbones off ?

It definitely looks like wishbones or balljoints on the wrong side to me.

I cant find any connection with balljoints or wishbones to dumping the tyre to fender?Can u explain to me?


space between tyre and fender = 5cm



and picture

What offset are those wheels?

[Tom_]

I am not sure,but around 20 or 25 i think

[Skull]

they want to say that maybe you fitted the left balljoint to the right side, and right side balljoint to the left side, so you wheels are too backwards, not centered to the fender.

p.s.: do you have ABY front hub housings? they bring the wheel a bit further out AFAIK...

p.p.s.: this is 7x17" ET15 with 215 45 tyres...

[Tom_]

No, i have 7A OEM hubs. So When i get picture of ball joints , do you recognize, if its right?
