Hello all, Just got my new wheels fitted .. Nebula 18" with Toyo T1-R... makes a huge difference compared with the stock 17" rims... and the Toyo's .. wow the grip is unbelievable (although, strangely for Northern Ireland - its hasn't been raining to see what they are like in wet). Anyway... When the wheels were being fitted - i noticed in both front arches that the springs had been hitting the arch and worn quite a groove in the body of the wheel arch.. .also on the passenger side the tyre had been rubbing against the arch.. Very strange - has anyone any thoughts? (I'll try and get some pictures if that helps.) Thanks!
