Rightio...fitted my teledials,all fine and dandy until i got to the front

I've taken the best shot i can of the possible problem....is this too close for comfort? It doesnt actually touch the inside of the rim...in fact theres about 4-5mm gap and when i spun the wheel round whilst jacked up it didnt rub either



Anyone else running wheels this close?

BTW...the little scratch you can see was there before and putting em on my van hasnt caused this

about the same as mine to be honest.

As long as your bearings are good, you should be okay....

I agree, you should be fine. I only have 2(ish)mm between my wheel rim and the upper control arm.

My fronts are similarly close, nothing to worry about.

Tyre delfection is always going to have at the bottom.

As has already been said, make sure your wheel bearings are adjusted correctly and your clearance will be the max it can be.
