Hi all
Do you mean tyres rubbing on chassis rail or inner guards
If it is rubbing on chassis rail then yes it is common to have to weld up the lock stops just enough for the tyres to clear the chassis rail by 4 or 5 mm
If the tyres are rubbing on the inner guards, then that is caused by one of two things
1/ Non factory wheel fitted
2/ Inner guards fitted incorrectly
The inner guard rubbing problem can be easily rectified by cutting the inner guard away from the outer guard carefully and reattaching it back further to enable clearance of the wheel.;42
