Bottom Out

Post by SeanLove »

hi there, I have an issue when I have 3-5 people in my car, it almost seems like the wheel arches are catching the wheels, and feels like it's bottoming out, any idea what this is? I have 195/50/R15 wheels on the car

Is the car lowered or on standard suspension?

If it's been lowered then you would be better off getting a lower profile tyre if it's still on standard suspension then as Andy says it'll be your shockers mate.

What wheels are on the Car? If you have the wrong offset wheels then it's always going to scrape

Mine is lowered 60 mill all round and the wheels don't catch even with a full load on
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
