Odd wheels?

Right I've just swapped my wheels around on the vit and now it seems the drivers side rear pokes out further than the passenger side. Any idea???

There's the problem. It's quite a bit out. Not sure if these wheels are meant to be wider at the back then the front? Like different offsets? Help[/img]

Can we have a picture of the wheel that doesn't stick out so much please.

does the body wiggle side to side if you shove it ? that could just be tired bushes etc

There's no wobble. It's only happened since i had the wheels swapped over from front to back. They were too wide for the front. The drivers side used to rub on full lock. So I moved it to the rear. Now the same wheel pokes out too far?

Without a picture i would have to guess that for some reason the offset on that wheel is different to the rest.Maybe someone has modified it to increase steering lock, but why only do one and not a pair?

You could measure the backspace on the wheel to see how it compares to the rest.

For so little a distance I'd say your springs need replacing - the panhard rod is pushing the axle to the off-side due to the weak springs

Swap the wheels and see what it looks like then.
