jsnlvxr Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi guys. Yesterday I fitted my new wheels amd coilovers. Its onlu about 20mm lower than standard. The wheels are 8j et25 18" but they scrub quite bad on the inner wing plastic guard. Can this be removed? What do people normally do about this?

jsnlvxr Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Its right on the engine side of the arch if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Are the arch liners fitted properly with all their fixing screws ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsnlvxr Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yws mate there all bolted in correctly. Seems strange that im getting this problem. Its not like its really low and with the lower et I would have thought it would give more clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Do the tyres catch on both sides ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsnlvxr Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 It sounds like it. But not the metal arches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 When do they catch ? in a straight line or on full lock, what size tyres do you have fitted, width & profile ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsnlvxr Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 They scrub on full lock. There 235 35 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well the tyres are okay size wise, don't go to full lock is my best advice, i wouldn't remove the arch liners as they do protect the wing a lot from stones etc getting picked up by the tyres.

jsnlvxr Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yeah ive been trying to avoid too much lock. Doesnt seem to take much though.would spacers give it more room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Post a photo of the front wheels if you can, set them straight first and show the wings so we can see where your wheels are sitting in relation to the wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
