adjust the beam , or the steering stops.

Depends how bad it is rubbing.

the beam is usually a bolt(s) in the middle(depends what adjusters you have). Mark it , support the weight, loosen the adjusters, raise the car, tighten the adjusters, see how it sits. (remember to let it settle)

the steering stops are even easier - just wind out the stop till it stops rubbing on full lock, then check you can still go round corners

Last option - borrow some wheels with skinny tyres on, just for the mot !

what size are on at the moment ?

Think I'll have to look at the steering stop (who needs to go round corners)
At the mo I've got 165's on

So what do you think?
