What's the fascination with having cars so low they scrape the ground?

What size are your wheels?

mines been bent front and rear for more room ,but it still catchs inside.

proper way is to split the inner and outer, move the outer as far as needed and then dd metal to bridge the hole created and reweld.

not a great pic, but u can see that i have plenty of room now, it was much closer to arch before
