Default E brake cable rubs

70 corvette vert..put 255/50r17 tires with american racing rims from the factory. i beleive the rims should have the correct corvette offset since i told the american racing rep what the rims were for and he had to look it up in the book. i had to wait for the rims to be built 'cause they don't stock them. no interference with the calipers but noticed that the emergency brake cable rubs on the inside. first..is there an easy fix? second..what is the correct fix? thanks,matt

Matt...You'll need to move your e-cable guide to the inside of your trailing arm. This is a common modification with after market wheels. You have to remove the guide and have it rewelded to the inside of the arm.
