Stock rims problem!!!!

Hello all. I have a 1987 firebird formula and the stock 16' lace rims are being scrubbed by I think are the outer tie rods. It scrubs whenever I turn and its eating the inside of the front rims up. I know they're the stock rims, mechanic said i had the wrong rotors? and I replaced to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can post pictures shortly. Thanks

You probably have the rear wheels on the front. Switch them around, should solve your problem.

Re: Stock rims problem!!!!

make sure you have the "rear" rims on the rear then the "front" rims on the front. They have a different offset and will make a difference. If someone rotated the tires at some point in the past and didn;t realize they were different then most likely that's you're issue.
