I\'ve run into a little problem. I changed the wheels, tyres and bearings on my AMG yesterday, but now the right front wheel touches the body when I make a left turn. I can\'t figure out how this can suddenly happen, as the wheels are the same size as the original wheels.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Could I maybe file a little bit off the body where it makes contact (alltough I shouldn\'t have to ofcourse...)

Help... :(

I have a Supra that's doing the same thing. I was thinking about putting stiffer suspension on the front. That's the only idea I can come up with.

And, get around 0.3-0.5mm down stop of front suspension.

Well, I checked... even switched the front wheels, but it\'s still touching on the same side. So it\'s nothing to do with the wheel. Must be the knuckle or the body then. :(

Anyone else got any ideas?

I\'m pretty sure that they\'re all the way in, so I don\'t think that\'s the problem. But I\'ll check again tonight, just to make sure...

Make sure the bearings are pushed in all the way in that rim. I had a similar problem with aftermarket wheels, had to tap the bearings in with the end of a screwdriver.
