i've got g-max 60mm drop and allesio 2's with a 195/45 tire and had to do a little archwork. de bolt the arches and pull out the metal slightly on the passenger side. the only rubbing i get now is the tire hitting the plastic arch which isn't any hassle cos its just wearing it away the more it hits.
