You need a fender rolling tool that looks like the one in the pic.

Sorry to post this in two threads,but there seems to be frequent posts on this 20" rubbing problem....
YAY!@!@ think i've solved the problem,
1,Had all wheels rebalanced today (3rd time)and no steering wheel shake at ANY speed.Same tire shop,same balance machine.I think after driving 600 miles or so the wheels/tires have 'settled in'.
2,Had shop check all rub areas around wheel arch and inner fenders.After 600 miles there is plenty of clues as to where the rub is occuring.The shop chopped out a large piece of the inner fender plastic panel at the front of each front wheel arch.Also,they slightly adjusted the camber to pull the top of the tire closer to the chasis to gain more clearance(and i mean slightly, so dont panic!)
So far i have no rubs at all,but i only travelled 20 miles or so home from the tire shop.
Fingers crossed,i'll let you all know what the end result is......
