1.4 zest 2 alloy wheels

new to this site and a bit of a newbie to modding cars and came across a set of nimrod alloys and put them on my car... only problem is that the front passenger side wheel sticks out the arch a fair bit more than the drivers side. anyone ever came across this or know what could be the problem.. can also get pictures to help explain

Have a look at the back of both wheels, check that the specs match.

Only thing I can think of is that you may have 1 from a 406 and 1 from a 206.

Bent hub, my GTi has this issue

And currently ive replaced everything apart from the kitchen sink and the hub

You may subframe but its a heavy thing to bend/move across, hubs can bend very easily

That doesn't look any worse than my wheel.

Why don't you swap the front wheels and see if it's the same ...

- if it is you have a suspension/subframe problem

- if it isn't and the other wheel sticks out, it's the wheel and it doesn't match. What did you measure? Hub to outer rim? That's the offset you need to check.

Not got a thin spacer stuck to the back of one?

If you have directional tyres, remember to swap them back before you drive anywhere!
