they are et45 17inch with 204/40 rubbers. when i get someone to sit in the drivers seat the wheel touches the actual arch. im alright with cutting these back a bit but i wanted to know if there was any metal i had too cut back underneath? | |

grind the plastic bolts away a bit, if thats not enough try grinding the whole bolt away and bond the arches back on with tiger seal, ive also had to take some of the actuall plastic arch off too, mine are 17's et45 lowerd bout 50mm at the back, only catches with full car now. | |
