My corsa is lowered 60mm all round and on 3 spoke alloys, obviously et49 and the alloys are only 14" yet if i turn into a corner with any momentum i can hear the wheels scrubbing in the arches... what could be causing this or is it a common problem, could it be because my shocks are on there way out? any help appreciated

It might be, if you have mudflaps on the front, the bolts rub when you turn, at least mine did, try taking them off if you have them, it made a horrible noise lol

My old car did that for a bit, I jacked it up and had a look around (without undoing/adjusting anything) and put it back down again. It was fine after that
