Title: Offset on mags
Post by: Not Happy Jan on December 04, 2011, 08:08:14 PM
Hello everyone
I have a set of mags which I tried to put on the sedan today . The offset seems to be wrong as it rubs on the top control arm on full lock.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Spacers of some sort??or are they no good for an FC ??? ???
I'm sick of changing wheels. Today I took the set of mags  off the wagon and replaced then, Then I took the cross plys off the sedan and put on the
mags  the took them off again as I changed the rear wheel cylinders and then put them back on, and I liked the look of it... ....then after the rubbing I took the mags off and replaced them with the cross plys again.  :P

See if they rub on upper ball joint as standard HR were flat and aftermarket have the top bit for the grease to sit in i found a different brand op ball joints.

Hi Pete.
it doesn't hit the ball joint it just knicks the tip of the rear  of the upper control arm and scrapes just under the lip/rim of the wheel.

 I guess I'll have to take the tyres off the mags and put them on some standard rims. Pity as I have 2 sets of the mags and both of them rub.
I might try the local tyre place first  and see if they have any ideas.
