O.k. so I got my new 15" rims for my 65 mustang on the car. However the driver side rim/tire is pretty close to the fender about 2 finger width. When I turn the wheel it clears the fender but when I was out driving I heard rubbing when I turned right.

Is there anyway to make the tire sit back an inch? So move it closer to the driver? I thought maybe by doing an alignment or adjustment on the upper or lower control arms? Not sure what else to do.

 

do both of your wheels have the same backspacing or are they different?

 

they have the same, i bought a set of 4 new tires/rims from mustang unlimited.

 

i would measure the2 fronts to make sure..they could have been mispackaged/labeled etc

 

Roll your fenders so the tire doesn't hit when turning..

Actually moving the wheel back will change caster. Get an alignment check to determine where the suspension is at now, then take it from there. Caster may be off on that side,.

 

I will be bringing it in for an alignment. I read that caster can move the wheel back so I figured better bring the stang in and get this done before the weather starts getting really nice here in Wisconsin. THanks Guys!
