tyre problem

[Howells14]

i want to lower my 1.1 it's on 15" Dare wheels at the mo. the only problem is that if 2 + people get in the back (average weight) you can hear the tyres scraping and sometimes smell burning rubber. any thoughts?

hmmmmmmm, maybe lowering isnt such a good idea then lol!

Might be rubbing on inside arch??

Whats the dimensions of the wheels etc?

I had the same probs with my 206, offset was wrong, needed spacers or summit i think.

[Howells14]

its just rubbing on the inside arches but i'm putting a vtr kit on it soon so it might solve the problem somehow

What sized tyres on the wheels?

[WelshSaxo]

vt kit will only change the outter arch not the inner so will not solve your problem! give the tyre size n wheel offset & you'll prob find it's 1 or the other!

grind the inner lip of the arch, and bend the bumper bracket back.

this si what iv been told to do as i have a 1.1 and het the same problem
