So I brought a set of Nimrod's from a member today and planned to get them refurbed before I put them on the car but I'm selling my Sirocco's so had to put them on today. My problem is they are rubbing on full lock which I didn't think they would do as the car hasn't been lowered, Would I need spacer's to sort this out or is their something I am missing.

Spacers would fix it, as long as the wheels don't poke out from the arches too much.
Still, mine rub on full lock and I just ignore it. I use full lock about 4 times a week

They are 205/55 R16, I think that,s my problem the wall is 55, But they did come off a 406. Shame as well cause they are brand new tyre's, First time they touched the road was me driving to work.

45s will be perfect, wouldn't have thought 55 would rub too much if the car is standard height to be honest though.

Im running 16" nimmies with 195/45/16 tyres and I still get rubbing on full lock, but I just avoid doing so where possible. Its more of a minor gripe than an inconvenience or issue.
