Right there rubbing slightly not much but its left a faint ring on the tyre... think its rubbing on the metal am ok to jack this up and wack the metal out a bit as there seems to be a bit of a gap from the plastic to the metal so i could wack it out a few mil which would make all the difference i think, anyone else done this ?
