Just put some 17" wheels on a p10 primera, Wheel seems to be slightly touching strut on the rear, not much but making a noise, Possible a wheel allignment mite fix this but adjusting the camber slightly so it dosent touch! Iv had the same wheels on another p10 primera and never had an issue, Cheers

Don't worry about it as something will soon wear through and the noise will dissappear.

I bet the suspenders are more worn on this car

Did you buy them new, the offset is wrong for your car!.If so take them back.If you bought 2nd hand, you may be able to make or buy some spacers that you can put on the rear hubs then put the mags back on to move them out a little.

The wheels are not compitiable, get another set. Which is why you do your homework before hand

as I said--worn out suspenders or fatter struts

Worn outsuspenders won't make the wheels touch the strut as the spring and telescopic part is above the wheel and tyre. It does not matter how. Much you compress the spring, the bottom of the strut won't get any closer to the wheel. Have the camber angles checked. I'm picking a bit much negative camber

What offset are the wheels!

There is a difference between P10s,they will touch on the model with drum rear and not touch on rear disc model.

it is touching at where the spring sits correct! take of the wheel, get your hammer, beat the crap out of it, wack some black paint on there and re fit wheel. I have had 4-5 primera's now and did that to all bar one, which had BC adjusty's in it.

hey dasfi off topic but did you end up selling your GTi-16V!

LOL GOOD GRIEF PPL. If it's touching the strut then it's CLEARLY 1 of 4 main problems. #1: Rim too deep #2: Loose wheel bearings making the wheel 'tilt" inwards #3: Rim too tall for that strut design #4: Bent strut

You could cheat by fitting 6mm spacers - and not telling anyone.
