I have a strange question for you. I just bought ERA 002. The previous owner said he recently changed the tire size, and with tight turning there was some mild tire rub. After I purchased the car (of course), I started to investigate the rub. The body of the car is not in line with the chassis. If you sit in the drivers seat, you would need to turn the body a good 3/8 inch clockwise to get it to align. Both the front and back tires are not aligned in the wheel wells. Is this a common problem, or did I get took. I called ERA, and they said some misalignment is common. This seems like a lot out of align to me. ERA also said there was really no way to fit it. The passangers side tire is proud of the fender about 3/8 of an inch, the drivers side is in about the same amount. The tire size is 275x60x15 on the old ERA centerline/halibrand look alikes. The car drives and handles great. I can't see any obvious damage to the frame or suspension. The rear tire combo is out the same amount in the opposite direction, like the body was twisted on the chassis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
