5mm spacers should solve that.

What size tyres are fitted, if not fitted might be worth switching to 195/50's they will give you more room.

Needs some spacers. Solitudes don't look right when they're tucked in.

Agreed, plus spacers will be cheaper than new tyres :wink:

I can't see why they would really if I'm honest... Unless something is very wrong with your camber.
