got a set of 16" wolfrace voodoo on my mk2 and when i put it on the ramp the rear tyres have an inset on the inside walls pretty much down to the cords. looks like they've been eaten up by my shocks (cars been lowered).

any ideas on wot to do and wot profiles i can stretch on?
got spacers on the rear already
got 205/45/16 on at moment

cheers

Its should be stamped in the back of them, its the number before the letter 'J' i.e. something like 7j 16D ET46.

or just stick a tape measure across it and tell em what that is.

Is it the tyres rubbing the suspension or actually rim of the wheels?

depending on how much its rubbing and how much arch clearance you have a 5mm spacer should sort it. but it its just the tyre a 195/40 should sort it Thumbs up
