Todd,

That is a common problem with all types of 15X7 0 offset wheels when you are
using the original uprights. 30 years of pressure cause them to sag. I have
heated them with a torch but it is best to replace them with new.

Hi all,

I'm very happy to report that I'm the proud new owner
of a set of Konig Rewinds.

The guys at the tire shop were very helpful & check
for rubbing.  As expected they hit the upper A-Arms at
full lock in both directions.  The manager of the shop
ground(with my blessing) ground off a bit of material
from the A-Arms.  All seemed to be well.

When I left the shop(while backing), I turned the
wheel to lock & heard grinding...then during some hard
cornering(forward)...more grinding.  

Any experiences with these wheels & what needs to be
done to ELIMINATE the metal to metal stuff?  It
doesn't do it at rest...well, jacked up off the
ground.

TIA,

Todd Bermudez
