   wheel spacers maybe? might be an idea to pick up a cheap set of steels from a scrappy for the mot though cos spacers arent that cheap

   you sure wheel rub is an mot failure though? think it can pass like that, might be worth trying it, then if it fails just get some steels for next to nothing cos its normally a free retest anyway ??

    yeah mate, standard steels with good tyres are cheap as chips to be fair, and they wont foul your arches. Plus you'll have them for future mot's/spares anyway
