Hi all!
I saw most of you have youre car lowered more than mine.
Mine is actually on -40 / -40 and rear wheels touch rear arches in some corners.
If I'm now runing in 14's... what will happen in 16's? Everybody have the same problem? How did you manage to aboid it?
Just a pic to illustrate the post:
Cheers!

Looks like its only catching due to tyre profile where it bulges out.

If they're 14's then they're probably something like 175/55/14 as a guess, so a 45 profile tyre would probably sort it but the speedo wouldn't read right.

They are 185/50 R14, I think 45 profile will not be legal...

175/50 would be a better size if you can get them? take the arches off and remove the top two metal fixings then bolt back on again
