   I purchased these alloy wheels and they came friday. The tyre size is 195/45/15 and they came with 20mm spacers. But when i tried fitting them to the rear of my flatarch saxo yesterday, the inner part of the tyre rubbed against the inner of the car. Is this right? How can i stop i? Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...lenotsupported

   The thing is though is that most people on here have fitted them fine with spacers. The tyre seems to be rubbing against the torsion bar or something

    if they are et35 20mm spacers should be fine, so if go to the back and stand a bit away from your car, do you wheels look like this / \, if they do you wall need a new axel.

    oh right, i didnt really notice any leaning. Could it be anything to do with to much air in the tyre?

    Are they on the correct PSI as it says on the sidewall?
    I would very much doubt it would be down to tyre pressure.
    
    My wheels on my flat arch rubbed on the inside at the top of the wheel, i chucked some spacers on and its fine now!
