Different size spaces each sideSo it would appear it’s a thing, thanks for char king yours @jasst It’s doing my head and is the only thing I can see when I look at the car now. I want to fit spacers so each wheel would fit nicely in the arch But that will make it more obvious that one is right and the other not.
I thought about that but assumed it would ruin the handing?Different size spaces each side
I am absolutely certain it wouldI thought about that but assumed it would ruin the handing?
So does anyone know if this is adjustable? I now know of three cars that have this issue so would appear there must be adjustment or very poor tolerances during the manufacture of the subframes.I am absolutely certain it would
Interestingly I just read up on a Porsche forum that this is a common issue - the guys there run slightly different spacers without any noticeable issues apparently.So does anyone know if this is adjustable? I now know of three cars that have this issue so would appear there must be adjustment or very poor tolerances during the manufacture of the subframes.
It’s all set up Correctly - wheels in the right place etc (I’m not a total idiot, just look like one)Is it possible that you have a front alloy on the rear, but mounted with a rear tyre by mistake? Offsets of front and rear alloys are I think similar to the difference you are seeing.
I recently fitted 20mm spacers to my Gransport. Both sides are identical. Cant think of anything else that could cause that much difference!
have you measure the distance between the axle and the fender? were they the same before you put on wheel spacers? or have you measure the thickness of wheel spacers? Were they the same?Whilst fitting some wheel spacers to my Gransport it has become apparent that the left hand rear wheel is closer to the wheel arch (widthways) than the right hand side. Is it possible that the rear subframe has been refitted slightly off centre following a clutch change? I had a 4200 a few years ago, and this was exactly the same - I can’t believe this is how they are supposed to be? Can this be adjusted?
to be honest I have my concerns about Giallo - they car has had 10's of 1000's spent there in the last few years and Im very surprised at some of the things I've discovered considering the recent work that had been carried out. It had over £10,000 spent there last April alone, I bought he car a few months later and a few issues that are linked to the works that were carried out.I'd take it to someone like Elite in Rainham and get the alignment checked again.
The alignment on my GTS was 'done' by Giallo, but when I went to Elite after putting spacers on, they had to use heat on the bolts to get them to move and do the alignment correctly as in their words 'no one has ever adjusted the alignment since it came out of the factory".
