Wheel arch Liners catching!!?
« 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 :) !

you aint got stretch tires have you? when running low you need a little stretch to stop the edge of the tire rubbing on the arch.
