as it says in the title. the right front wheel pokes out further from the wheel arch than the rest of the wheels  . im pretty sure theres nothing i can do about this (right?) and i just have to accept that this is how minis were made.

 

thought id mention it though on the off chance that someone else has had the same problem, and happened to find a solution that didnt involve lots of grinding and welding and swearing...

Got a pic


Perhaps the driveshaft etc is from the other side

You had the front end panels replaced? Are all the subframe mounts decent? Genuine front subframe?

[Chris1992]

this is the best pic i can get hold of for now. 

 

a lot of work had been done when i bought the car, so i think its got new front panels. all the mounts are new, and pretty sure the sub frame is genuine

 

heres the pic

Are the rest of the wheels flush to the arch?

[domdee]

is it on drums up front?

a rogue spaced drum perhaps?

arch isnt skinier is it i got some group 5 euros from abs motorsport and rear left arch was abit skinnier then other side but you cant realy notice when there on car altho yours sounds worse :/

[Chris1992]

the other wheels arent quite flush but they dont poke quite as much.

 

no its on disks up front

 

never really thought it could be the arch, ill get my tape measure out...

 

to be honest its not catastrophically noticeable, and i could always fit thin spacers to all the other wheels to sort things out. cheers for the suggestions guys
