G'day guys I recently installed some new 265 75 tyres on 16x8 steel wheels. However the front tyre on the driver's side is about a centimetre away from the upper control arm. Is this a problem? If so what is the easiest way to fix it?
Cheers

Only way to fix it is the change your wheels to a different offset. A centimeter isn't really a problem but just keep an eye on it for a while and see if it actually starts rubbing paint off the control arm, if not ya should be fine.

Have a look at my post on the 33in thread
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=3538&start=1300It's about a cm or so away and is no problem. You can see the rub mark on the front of the uca when the wheel is at full lock, some think its a problem - its never bothered me.
