·I've gone from factory steels to alloys that are ET35 with 235/60/16 rubber.
I noticed when changing the pads the tyre has shined up a plate on the end of the transmission
So
1. Whats the plate there for - it almost looks like it is put there for the tyre to touch it otherwise you would just have plain and simple transmission casing
2. Assuming I can - what do I need to do to change my steel wheel RAV 4.1 to an alloy wheel 4.1 so it wont rub (I wondered about spacers but I don't think they would make enough difference)
(By the way I don't think the rubbing is sufficient to damage the tyre - after a couple of thousand miles all it has done is rub off the moulding nobbles)
