Rim touching strut

[dylan720]

Hi all so im have a very strange issue one ive never seen before i have a 2011 ve omega series 2 it has hsv 19s on it i had a new tyre put on the rim about a year ago and the rim sat in the boot due to not being registered and i never got around to putting it back on the car until the other day. When i out it on the front left the rim itself was touching the strut to the point the point it wouldnt spin at all i replaced the strut thinking it was bent but problem still there i then swapped the 2 front tyres arpund out the one from the right on the left and its free spinning like normal. But now that rim is touch on the right side strut it has to be some issue with the rim from whag i can see but what i dont know it has had a new tyre ballenced with no issues same size tyres on all 4 rims anyone have any advice on what it could be would be great thanks

Double check the tyre size.

Otherwise a bent strut.

Bent rim would be the only cause I can see considering it is only the 1 rim

Thats what im thinking to but wouldn't that show up when getting ballenced they never said anything about it being bucked or bent they just replaced the tyre ballenced it and i picked it up

Have tripple checked tyre sizes all the same and the strut was replaced tonight with same outcome

Bent stub axle

Well. Not that it has a stub axle but the point is the hub would have to be buggered if everything else checks out

hasnt lost the screw for doing the camber and its worked its way increasing the camber now its touching with wider rims ?

What’s the tyre size on there?

 

[Fu Manchu]

I re read it. Missed that you swapped the wheels and the problem followed.


The only possible way it’s happening is different tyre size.

Post a photo of the tyre size on each of these front wheels. Or post what the sizes are on the two rims.
