wheel rub on arch

[Rory]

The front shouldnt be anywhere close to rubbing.

Do you have the bumpstops in the dampers?

no idea what they are but yes i think they are in place

 

[Rory]

Thats a stupid answer.
If you have no idea what they are, then how do you know if they are in or not?
Sounds like they are not in place..

I have similar wheels (same size/offest as yours), with 195/50/15s and have the same problem.

To fix it, i rolled my rear guards.
Was easy to do, only took a couple hours to do both sides.
Since the lip cant be seen with the plastic trim on, you can be quite brutal with bending it back (i used multigrips + hammer).

After being done, it looks the same, but i get an exta ~30mm of wheel travel.

Fcuking hell, that's low! Please PM me some more pics of the car!!

Look for a little code at the back of the rim to check with the offset, for example it can be ET40, ET35 etc etc.

mwp thats what i need to do for the rear ones, right now i can only go in the car with one passenger and cant pick my cousins and my brother up from school and if i do then the new tyres will get mashed

It definitely shouldn't rub at the front with that ride height and wheel size. As said get the tracking done and chuck an adjustable panhard rod on then see if that solves it. Try and get the RS*R rod too, they are adjustbale both ends and easier to fit.

what suspension you got on that?

 

[MWP]

Heh, thats with no suspension in it
I had the rear shock/springs out so i could test where it would rub on the tyre.
