Will positive caster help - Wheel rubbing
Hi All,
I have a 2002 Bugeye and I have the ABW wide arch kit and have got some nice wide wheels and some 285/30/18 tyres on... I have just installed a 25mm hubcentric spacer to bring the wheels out inline with the arches.
Basically now the problem is that when I turn full lock the wheel catches on the rear of the front arch... but there is some room at the front on lock the other way, so really I want to move the wheel forward, will adding Caster (I.E a Anti Lift Kit) help with this problem?
Any help appreciated

ALK will move your wheel in the right direction. When running 18's I've got the opposite problem, rubbing on the front of the arch 
I run WL ALK, Chevron custom control arms and WL Max-C top mounts.
