New bendy wishbones,,, I wonder if yours will work ok on mine biggrin
What size are your front wheel and offset. You could put small wheel spacers on. Concentric shouldn't be a problem as you only need a 2-3 mm. Can screw them to your wheels so they stay put.
The correct thing would be bump stops I imagine.

From what I could see the bottom one. O /S ( check on a ramp to be sure)
Does your steering wheel go slightly further round on r/h full lock by any chance ? Steering shaft could be a few splines out so someone changed tracking rather than pull it apart again. Worth checking as you have mentioned steering before.

Are these 16 inch all round ?

Reason i ask, i have standard imolas, 15 inch front and16 inch rears and one time......whistle......i managed to put one of the 16inch rears on the front by

mistake.

I did not notice until later in the day when on full lock i heard a scraping noise from the front.

I dont know about Team Dynamic wheels, but the standard 16 inch imolas scrape against the bottom wishbone on full lock.

[ standard fitment, no spacers etc. ]

Looks like you might need something like 3-5 mm spacers fitted behind the discs to bring them and the wheel out enough for clearance. Aaaaah, that means moving Calipers.

Is it your tubular wishbones have less clearance room then standard ones. Surely those discs should clear whatever its hitting. frown

I use the stops. 16 inch imolas with Subaru rack.

They cost very little and slip into place easily.

Loosen the steering arm rubber gaiter. You can then fit them tight against the steering arm where it screws into the rack. Obvious when you remove the gaiter.

My Subaru rack required 22mm id spacers. I used nylon washers from eBay. Spacers are readily available and you can clip in place rather than unscrewing the steering arm. Race tech list them iirc.
