just bought speedlines today from stu60 off here,great purchase.just baffling me as to why they are rubbing at the back and its only on -50mm nova springs with pirelli p-zero nero tyres on the back [195/45/16] and pirelli p-zero tyres on the back which are also catching the strut but it's coilovers on the front so expected that [tyres also 195/45/16].the back arches are literally sitting on the line that runs round just below the tread,any idea?

trim your arches back abit, and bond them on rather than bolt them, but dont normally get problems with speedlines

Tigerseal will do the Job bud! Just debolt and grind away! and then bond back on! simple!

Bodyshop will do it! and 3mm spacer is cool!

But never heard of anyone having rubbing on rear before with speedlines!

If the fronts are catching the strut how is spacing the wheel going to make it worse?
