go for 195/40/16 tyres they will help you a little! how much is your car lowered?

its 45 mm at the front and standard at the back causeof new axle when it was lowered at the back it was 1 notch of the torsion bar and rubbed at the bumper bracket but its only the front that rubs on full lock now would spacers help cheers buddy

Simple way to fix this........

DOnt turn on full lock smileys/smiley2.gif

Mines dropped 60mm on 17's and it scrubs at the front on full lock, just dont full lock it smileys/smiley16.gif

thats true but i want mine to be perfect ive been riding like this since last year i think now its time to sort the problem thanks for the reply tho

40 profiles should help quite abit if its only lowered that much! ive heard of lads with a 50mm drop with 16's on 40 profs and they said they dont get rubbing at all even with a full car!!

I tell you where it will scrub smileys/smiley2.gif

If you've removed the arches it will scrub on the washer bottle and eventually wear a hole in it smileys/smiley8.gif

16['s shouldnt rub on the water bottle.

Spacers would help, or you get medieval on the arches, take the shit guards out and batter fuck out the inner arches with a big fuck off hammer
