I have a 1.6vts I bought it with lowerd springs think there 60mm they are standard alloys, with (195 50 15) the standard tyres would of had 195 45 15(correct me if i am wrong ):y:, any how I cant full lock the wheels without it ripping the arches off and catching the plastic inside do I change the tyres or suspension, I quiet like the ride but it is quiet harsh

Shouldn't have many issues with standard tyres (45 profile) even if you lifted it a bit it will still scrub on 50's

I had similar problem on my east coast. Seems michelin 175/65 x13 tyres on my standard 3 stud alloys foul the bodywork as theyr a whopping 1/2" wider than the falkens i had before so maybe its that your tyres are lil bigger than they should be. Just a thought
