wheel well clearance problem (more specific)
I wanted to clarify what wheels I bought that caused the rubbing problem.
I have 15 by 7 MB Motoring MB6 wheels with 205/50/R15 tires. I'm not sure
the offset is different, but that would explain the rubbing. When I put
the wheels on, it looked as though the tires would tuck into the wells
nicely, but apperently the very edge of the lip is rubbing. From the
responses I got, it looks like I shouldn't attempt to roll the wells. I
don't want to crack the paint, I just had the car repainted. I might go
ahead and file down the edges. I don't know what else to do. The place I
bought the wheels from said I would have no problem with clearance, I guess
they were wrong. I think the wheels are just barely catching, so if I file
the edges down, it may be enough to clear. Please write back with any
thoughts. Thanks.
