Hello everyone

I have a SPi Mini with sportpack arches and 175/50 SR13 tyres on 13" x 7" wheels but the front tyres rub on the wheel arches when I am on full lock. Is there anyway to prevent or rectify this?

When I rebuilt my car and was in primer I came across this problem and noticed it more when I was driving. Ran out of time before going to painters so just took a grinder with flap disc and took a little off of them. Seemed to have worked but should of taken more off as still rubs a little (more bumpy the road the more it rubs)

you could fit smaller wheels or fit the steering rack limiters but then your turning circle will be less
