What's the score with....

[Carl!]

Dom is that on 215/40's?

im running 8j et35 with big spacers on rear, assuming they are 20mm if not bigger as I need to measure them which im going to do. trying to work out if 215 will sort out as 225's on at min or better swapping spacers, ive highered it up to about 50mm low but its still catching over bumps or when there is 3 in.

Yeah, that was 215/40/18 with a 20mm spacer, it sat pretty well but scrubbed with any weight in the rear.

oh right.  unsure what to do as I dont plan to run that low and would prefer to be able to carry passengers with no rubbing when I do.Might drop to 15mm spacers and 215's in long run.

I thought it was better to revive thread than start yet another offset/tyre type thread!

Do you already have coilovers or lowering springs?

[Carl!]

I'm on coilovers and I was getting rubbing with passengers, raised them up for my remap quite a bit and thought that would get rid of it but i'm still getting rubbing just on the passenger rear. I've assumed its on the lip of the arch as i've had a good look with the wheel off and couldn't see anything!

Checked your bump stops?

[Carl!]

no mate,  tell me more? im not too clever with cars but learning!

[Nino]

The bump stops often break see this picture you will see the bump stops.



when you buy replacements they look like this.



Check yours see if they they have colasped

Cheers, i've only recently put joms on all around can't recall the bumpstop situation though. I've checked tonight and ive collected rubber on my arches so it's definitely rubbing there. Is the fuel tank on the driver side as i've started brimming it since running 99ron, wondering if that is adding to the weight on that side?!

[Nino]

Yes it is on the drivers side, you will also notice that the drivers or passenger rear wheel will poke out 5mm more as well
