The bit that was worn was the alloy nut/stud (dont know which youd call them - the bit that you put on / take off in order to fit / remove the wheel) which was rounded off, and some how even when turning was not coming out but its off now and all good :)

well when stood still is about 1/4 of an inch ish away from the arch, when on full lock it rubs and when turning and going on a bumpy road it rubs, but only on the  sports pack arches (not the metal wings/original arches), the sp arches flex and bend a little, im gunna use it for work tomorrow, if its a huge problem, ill have to re think, just gunna see how it goes :)

my tires rub on the dege of my sports pack arches a bit. hardly notice it though. as long as its not rubbing on metal then u should be fine  ... and get those pics up!

Just got back home after the first daily driving on the new wheels, turns out the front wheels do rub on the metal bit of the arches on the front wheels when turning left and going down a dip / up a bump what can be done about this?

You may be able to bend it a tad if not you'll have to cut it.

Thanks for the fast reply, at the weekend im gunna have to look into bending or cutting it then :)

My previous comment still stands mambas are sick and my god they are really complimented by you lovely sportspack....LOVE IT.....

very nice

That looks smart with those rims. 

 

I've fitted 13x7s to my sportspack models and they have always cleared the wing/arch on full lock.....with a few millimeters to spare!

 

I've recently purchased some new 10x5 Mambas with AO32r tyres for my '72 van. Mamba's are a bit different.

 

Nice Mpi.
