k so my current white corsa b ls 1.2 has been lowerd 50mm all round! with 16inch Wolfrace white alloys on,
problem is the wheel width on the wolfrace alloys are larger than the width of my wheel arches,
so when i have wieght in the car or hit f**k speed bumps and pot holes my tyres catch and its ripped the poo
out of my tyre treds! so ive been told i have cuple options number 1 of buying thiner tyres, however at £101.00 each its not very appealing,
and still wont help if i have wieght in my car.
or basicaly get a new set of alloys that fit correctly with a wheel package.. or should i buy new springs or something and have it raised to say 25mm or 30mm >..>>>???????? ...
what ive done with mine is i removed all the wheel arches and grinded away the arch to just below the bolt holes, it gives u an extra 20mm, mine dnt rub atall unless i have 3 ppl in the back and a boot full of stuff, even then its nm to worry bout.
Nice 1 mate! so av u removed the outer plastic arches or is there still enuf room for them to be screwed on? n what about all the plastic sh*t thats inside the arches on the sides and above av u riped all them out 2?
i ended up gettin my arches widend at the back, had them cut to the spot welds then some fresh metal at an angel welded on and had the plastic trim put back on, not instead on 195/45r15 i now can fit 205/50 on the back

theres still enuff room, bt i gt slightly wider arches at the back from ebay. they where 30pound. plastic and in primer. the fronts fine with just grindin it away. i kept the liners in but they rub very very slightly but its nm 2 worry bout.
