Kevin Baker Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'm now the proud owner of a pair of 8" lightweight alloy wheels - Caterham part no. 77298 - shod with 205/60 Toyo 888s for the rear of my car. Lovely sunny day, so lets get fitting, only take 5 minutes.......... or so I thought. But nothings ever that easy - is it? The wheels don't go on as they hit the anti-roll bar linkage!!!! mmm.... wasn't mentioned when I parted with my cash. Surely I don't have to disconnect the rear anti-roll bar and run without? or do I?

Irrelevant Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Put the linkage on the other side of the ARB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Morris Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 When / how did you buy the wheels? Could be a problem with the offset within the wheel? If this is wrong then the wheel wil be too deep or shallow causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsn Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 if mr hay's suggestion doesn't work the roll bar linkage has been in a few locoations over the years. mine's above the axle centreline. some are underslung. Perhaps you have wheels designed for one and not the other? I expect you can swap but it's proably not a moments work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
