Wow, thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Hi Manu, they don't rub on cornering. Glad I can keep them RedRobin ;-)

Does anyone have any advice on how to stop the rubbing? It’s happened about 8-9 times (once at the front) in 200 miles so I do need to sort it.

Would a set of coilovers be able to prevent it?
Are there any modifications I can make to the wheel arch?

Thanks
Dave

I'm not usually a fan of after market wheels but they look stunning and perfectly compiment that gorgeous blue colour.  I love the Mk V R32 !

you could put kw variant 3 coilovers on it? they would allow you to camber the wheel to avoid the rub? they are called variant 3 cos you can adjust three things...ride height, rebound( i think) and camber...
it important that you get the multi adjustable ones as just normail coilovers ( variant 1's or eibach prostreet) will just be ride height adjustable and would only make things worse...

i haved this set up on my m3 CSL and its the nuts....

That car looks awesome!
Most people go for the RS4 Reps but this really looks  :cool:

About the rubbing...

Cant you use spacers? I think thats what they are called?
Help anyone?

Would you mind explaining what spacers are?

Not being rude, but perhaps I have the wrong thing in mind.  :undecided:
