body rub

[roey]

just changed my standard evo4 wheels 205/50/16 for set of 215/45/17 and every time i go over big hump or pot hole the tyres seem tohit the body work at the rear any suggestions on what might be doing it or a way of preventing
cheers sean

most probably its the 215 thats causing the problem..............roll the arches or smaller widths.

or put the 16 back on
