I just bought Delsol wheels 195/60/14 for my 87 civic and the front ones don't seem to want to move. Theback wheels are fine. I can turn fine just not roll. I think they might be rubing the strut.... but not sure any suggestions?

?

i would think they would be fine do the stock rims roll on it ? you might have a brake froze up

nope switched back to my 13inch steelies and it works fine

if they have clip on wheel weights on the back they usually hit the strut

you need some stick-ons or you can bash the brake line mounting tab down and it'll probably clear

I'll have to check the weights in the morning.... If it's not that would wheel spacers help???

first keep it jacked up and try to spin the wheel.. see where its catching it

nacho · 10-05-2008, 01:59 PM

it's catching on a clip attached to the strut for the break cable.....
options
1) wheel spacers
2) some one runs over to buy them and I just run my steelies
3) any other sugestions????
