At the risk of asking the obvious, what vehicle and what is the current offset and/or backspace?

Lock rites are a piece of cake to fit, if you follow the instruction to the letter you shouldnt have any dramas.

Hi there, I just used 15 x 8 wheels with the widest offset you can get.
Didnt have much rubbing apart from on full lock under full suspension compression, but mine was a Samurai and having diffs that are 90mm wider might have helped.

Cheers
