Some time ago I bought Katy some new tyres which were a little wider than the ones she came with
Since then to be honest is is possible to get the tyres rubbing when applying full lock and i believe that this is an MOT failure so I've been looking into the options to resolve it
I considered just adjusting the stops, but to be hones she probably needs every little bit of turning circle she can get
I considered wheel spacers, but the advice from all the people on-line at LRO and LRS on this topic really seems to have come down on the this isn't a good idea. Steve Walford my master mechanic friend agrees with this stance
So it's either back to plan A or have a closer look at the wheels. I've known for a long time they were different. On the front (shown below) the space from the wheel rim top the bolted centre is 6cm
This makes me think about swapping them around or getting 2 more wheels like the rear wheels to put on the front.
I think I need more advice before I decide so I'm going to call on all those on-line friends yet again (and a few more!)
As I learned more I changed the wheels front to back - if you want to read why you can get that information at
