only fitted one at the minute just went to turn it round to fit the other and it caught the arches but just realised this side is about 3/4 of an inch lower than the other just ordered new cones and knuckles just waiting to get them fitted would this make a difference ?

Yes, if a doughnut has collapsed this can cause the wheels to catch

you have the same wheel sticky out ness as a 7 inch wheel now, you might also need the steering lock limiters or a sports pack rack
