If its scrubing at that hight you realy do have wheels with the wrong offset, ive owned 2 lowerd Cs on 17s and never had scrubing problem even 5s up. They only scrubing problems ive had were with my Gaz coilovers all the way down and the rear spring adjusters taken out, thats a drop of 60mm front and 75 rear. At the moment its raised 15mm at the front and the rear ajusters set to about 20mm. so the drop is about 45mm front and 55 rear and i have no scrubing problems what so ever.
are you running spacers or do you wheels have an offset less that 40?

Alright, leave it, when you bit a bump on the motorway at 70mph with 5 people in the car and the tyre bursts because it's met with an archbolt too quickly, don't come crying to us?

Who's rattled your cage? I only said if i bonded them back on they would probs fall off going along the road knowing my luck and whats that got to do with coming on here crying anyway? im not like most people off here that cry over petty little things im only being careful so take the toys back in the pram

Scott if you are worried about them coming off leave a bolt in at each end Only wants dropping slightly imo. Some -30mm C rear springs look cool.

Is it rubbing on the outside or inside??

If its catching the bolts,then the outside of the tyre will be marked.
