Rear wheel

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





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.

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

are the rear arches the same size?
