Hard to push!!!

:2Confused

now this is prob gonna sound really silly but when i use to have the old standard wheels on the car could take the hand brake of and push the car out of my garage really easy, now since i have had the 18s can hardly push it, its a nice flat level garage and its a hell of a bugger trying to push it now.

I know the new wheels are alot heavier and wider and i knew it would make a bit of difference but its alot of difference, can hardly move it!!  

Sounds like the brakes are rubbing alot when im pushing it, cant remember if they sounded like they were rubbing that much before didnt take much notice :confused:

Its prob just me bein silly

Are the calipers rubbing against the wheels?

I changed the LSD in mine and that is really difficult to push!!!  Makes a hell of a noise when you turn corners at slow speeds!!!

With the 18\'s and if the car is low have a look for the tyres rubbing up in the front wheel arches.

The 18\'s will give lots of wheel to caliper clearance but it could still be a stuck caliper as they do seize quite offen on these cars front and back

Carefully jack each wheel up indivdualy a spin by hand to find out.
