Title: Wheel arch Liners catching!!?
Post by: mrshaneyp on 19 June 2012, 13:44: Hi I have had my Rs8's 18" on for a while now and have started to noticed that when turning with full lock the tyres are catching the wheel arches? after looking the arches are wore and mildly damanged? would buying and applying new ones fix this or?

Thanks :) !
