They need rolling but ultimately the car is too low, it'll rub on the upper arch all the time. Me an jay run 9j's with ET22/ET19 with no rubbing, but our cars arent super slammed like that.
its not on coilovers or anything just m-tech suspension with 60mm springs nothing hard core at all Hammer
mash the arches with hammers and that... like i did! If you use the right size tyres, and a roll on the arches and not being low will be ok!
The lip is pretty thin on a 36 heat it slightly and hammer, doesn't take much effort. I had to do some arch work on mine the other week. Also as said earlier in the thread tyre size plays a big part.
I, too, am running 9j et19 with no rubbing. That said, my arches could easily accomodate a 10j et15 now with the amount done to them. Go to town on those suckers, it'll look gangster.
i believe its on m-tech dampers and 60mm lowering springs but i bought it lowered to can't be sure. but it defo not on coilovers.
what tyre should i be using i have to check what they are, as i left the rear wheels behind as i couldnt drive home with them on. i only bought them coz they were a good deal and i needed some tyres but they looked ace on so i want to keep them :-) but dont really want the expense of some new 18" tyres especially coz it has good tyres on
Right, just to give you some advice that my experience today taught me. TYRE SIZE IS THE MOST VITAL THING! Even with my MASSIVELY raped arches I've got rubbing over even small bumps with the current tyre set on. This tyre set is different to the ones I mentioned earlier as I've now got 8.5j et15 17's with 235x45 tyres on. The car's lowered 40mm on springs and runs koni shocks. I'm fairly confident that I'm going to be able to run the wheels with 215x40 tyres on, even once I've neutralised the camber, but at the moment they certainly rub.
Tyre wise 225/40 should do it, if it's stock suspension with little drop it's got to be the tyres at fault 9J should fit easy....I'm running 18x8.5, offset 35 with 225/40 tyres and quite a big drop....no rubbing.
