Rear wheel
richwalker - 25/6/06 at 03:29 PM

Been trying to fit the rear wheel arches to my velocity today, the offside one goes on but the near side wheel seems to be along way out past the wheel arch tyre and wheel. The wishbones seem to be the right way round and match the other side. Has anyone come across this or know of a way to sort it out?

Cheers.

Do you mean that the wheel sticks out further than the wheel arch from the car ?

Yeah it does, but it seems to stick out further from the car than the other side.

Have you got your driveshafts the right way round, one is longer than the other

ah, are they. might have to look at that, though isnt the position of the wheel dictated by the whishbones?

The driveshafts are the right way around, just been out and checked.

Were the wheels all off the same car, all the same offset? Try swapping side for side.

All the wheels are new so i assume they are all the same.

Is the hub that carries the wheel fully into the hub carrier -

are the rear arches the same size?

have you got rear discs or drums
