this is the complete opposite of what most people ask so its going to sound a little weird... but bear with me. bassically i put a set of 15" alloys on my saxo and if i have anyone in my backseats they rub on one the passenger side outer arch... i think i need to raise my rear suspension by about an inch... is this the only option??

its a common thing on the flat arches with bigger wheels
what i did was take off the plastic trim
and cut away the lip of the arch with an angle grinder
then put the trim back on (i removed the bottom bit of plastic too)

cant tell its been done as the trim hides the arch youve cut off
