heres mine:





15" rims ET45 with 195/50/15 tyres. lowered -60mm
no scrubbage at rear with 2 people in the back. but the front wheels rub the inner arch liners on full lock


Gambit

or alternativily you can camber the rear wheels by putting a washer on the bottom bolt(s) of the stub axle

where there's a will there's a way ;)

you can get away with et35 lowered 40mm as long as you have 195/45 profile tyres

you just need to remove the top two bolts from each arch and give the inner arch a good blattering with a rubber mallet

can i not just cut alot of the arch away ? and bond arches on and not take n e rear peopel
