Re: alley cats
Is it not just because the wheel is turned to the right?! Looks fine to me.

Re: alley cats

Re: alley cats
Tbf I agree with speedy, the wheel looks way back. Worth a photo on straight lock if nothing else.

Re: alley cats
if the ET is low on those rims that will give the same effect as bend arms (more common the arm mounting plates), i agree, straighten the steering wheel and see if the wheel is perfectly centered in the wheel arch

I've stayed out of this so far, as mine looks like the blue one in the previous photo, but only when on lock, the wheel is central to the arch other than that.

Re: alley cats
It's just something I had, the wheels weren't central in the arch at straight ahead and the bushes did a great job. It's worthy of a check if nothing else

Re: alley cats
im pretty sure the wheels are center in the arches but i will take a pic tomorow morning before work to cheak and post up anyway also the wheels are 6/13 with 175/70/13 tyres
Re: alley cats
I'm gonna eat my words here - noticed with the cups today that it does exactly the same as this! I think with standard or "flat" faced wheels that they dont swing out so much. But deeper dished faces will swing further out. If that makes sense? Its a theory anyway.

Re: alley cats
The lower the ET, the more they'll appear like that. Remember the wheel is pivoting around the steering knuckle, so the outside edge of the wheel will trace an arc around that point. I'm pretty sure that's an optical illusion, you can see the tread on the front. Then again, I'm also sure that nearly all 300s would benefit from new tie bar bushes.
