Hi,
Trying to sort out some niggles. I have 18" Spiders with 225/35/18's on the front and 255/35/18's on the rear. Offside rear rubs when cornering, plus fronts rub at full lock. I think I can fit stops to stop the front lock, where can I get them ? What can be done for the rear , stiffen the suspension ?
Also one of the fronts has a ding on the inner edge from a pot hole, so if anyone has a spare rim I'd be interested.

Cheers Allan.

PS. Glad you got the gear selection prob. sorted Spawn.

Could be that you have the tuscan rears on the back, these have a different offset to the fronts so can catch on Cerb rear arches. Its common to use four 'front' tuscan spiders on the Cerb as these have a smaller offset.

Re lock stops, Tvr Power do them, if you have a car that did not have them OE then you will have to fit them to stop rubbing the wishbones. Stiffening the suspension on the rear is only masking the problem, if it worked at all, you might have the wrong offset as previously mentioned, if not maybe a geometry issue, maybe a little more camber might sort this but see where you are first.
