HELP NEEDED PLEASE......

right the other day i got some 15x7 ATS cups in black , couldent be bothered with looking for just the right stretch so got some 205/50's put on. lokks awsome but ive got a bit of scrubbing on the rear and need it sorted as soon as and for no money.

ideas so far are

1) offer my 205/50 for a swap with some 195/50
2) put a bit of cmber on which i cant do myself
3) find a way of raising the back of my car about an inch

please help, any advice or help will be apppreciated

or just sell me the wheels!!

Are your rear arches standard? do you have arch trims on not?

Personally the tyre is to big for that size rim, but if you cant afford to change them maybe roll the rear aches abit if its only slighly catching if its lots theres not much oyu can do really other than change them.

yeah arches are standard with trim.

debated for ages wheather to go for handeling or the stretch, should have gone for the stretch

i have no idea where to begin when rolling arches

to be honest mate, your cheaper option is smaller tyres, width and height. i'd try and find out exactly how much you need to go first.

if you've got plastic arches then rolling them would be a nightmare with having to take them off.

the other thing to do is get the inner lips copped off. thats what i did with my cabby when i had it.

Well havein the trim actually would make your life abit easyer but cuz they will come up andy unsightly bits

Old skool way to roll you arches is find abit of pipe/bar slightly bigger then you can fit between arch and tyre. get a m8 to hold against the tyre at the back and drive forward very slowly, and repeat several times. might give you the room you need. couldnt say without seeing it.

mine and my brothers choice we would hammer the hell out of the arches

agreed

dont know if this will work for you but ive known/seen people use rubber inserts in the rear springs to stop scrubbing

officially the things are for when towing trailers and caravans, to keep the back of the car up.

these could help as they wont allow your springs so much movement. you can find them at halfords etc.

ive got a pair of nearly new 195/50s you can have for £35 if you want them mate

cheers for all the suggestions

if i go for smaller tyres i will need 4, im not having a stretch on the back and not on the front.

this sounds like the best idea to me so far.

bumpstops i think there called

i thought they was called coil spring assisters?

yer people use them when pulling heavy trailers etc

do they raise the suspension, or stop it from compacting?

I still roll all my arches like that, if your carfull and with small jumps in the tube size you will be able to completly flaten the return lip with out damaging the paint From pased fu*k ups its just as easy to push the car backward and foward than to drive it
