-Tyres too big

-Worn bushes
-Incorrect geometry
-Bent swingarm

What have you had done or changed to start this?? you sure its not your tyres rubbing on the arches :???:

215 wide tyres will rub on the arches.

I had to get my Vectra GSi's arches rolled for my 19's as they rubbed like hell, especially on bumpy roads.

(should I be admitting this???) ops:

Yeah i'll ring on the weekend cheers dude..


All i've changed ben is lower it 50mm ad put new tyres on it which are 205/55/15 and they are evo 3 wheels
so i can't see how that would make it rub..

I'm having it aligned to tomorrow so hopefully that will sort it otherwise i'll put 3mm spacers all round..
