How big are the alloys on the car?? Do you have any pictures of the car?? If the car is just parked up how much distance is between the wheels and the arches then?

i would sugest a smaller profile and a pan rod as a friend of mine is ast on the ground on teins he has 195/45/15 tyres with no problems.not 100% sure what it would be like with people in the back but the front is definatly fine.

what is the condition of your suspentio at present as there is a good chance that could be shagged also :confused:

as i said check your offset of your alloys - if the offset is wrong, youll still get rubbing with standard springs.

take the wheel off, and have a look for markings - or find out what make model of the wheels is and should be able to find out what offset it is.

nice wheels - very expensive too!!
from a quick search they should be 6.5" wide and an offset of 45.

might even sell these, anyways yes i took pics on the arches just now and i can confirm that the arch lip is causing it to rub with the wheel, what would you say dan?

this is the first pic, rear driver side wheel and arch

this one is the driver front side

and last but not least is passenger side rear

forgot to mention the car came with rs shocks and springs, the shocks were completely finished thats why i put kyb shocks in and replaced one top mount

DONT GO AS FAST OVER SPEED BUMPS

there is no way you will be rubbing with that ride height.

mine is lower than that, same size tire's, yet doesnt rub

either your tracking wasnt done properly before, you've put it up a tree, or your going to fast over speed bumps

What to do with the front? Get it tracked!
Does it rub on the inside or outer edge of the arch?

it only rubs when i go over pot holes and bumps that are on the roads, and no not speed bumps(always slow when i go over them) and the drivers sides rub on the outer side of the tyre

and the rear driver side tyre rubs if i have one or two people in the back
