Got a big prblem i put sume AEZ Xylo 15" alloys in my corsa and the yfit fine on the the front and i thought they did on the back till i had a car full of people and i heard this horrible scraping, turn out there rubbing on the plastic of my arches as there so wide 195/50r15.
Ive heard of 3 possible fixes
1- rubber spring helpers to stiffine up one loop and keep the back end up
2- variable spring rate springs
and 3 - have my arches rolled
i dont know what the 3rd entails of what it actually is, what is the process of rolling your arches, how much does it cost and is it a job i could do myself as iv done everything else on the car myself and ive been working cars since i was 6?
which options do you reckons best?
Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Is the car lowered at all?
If not, the wheels are the wrong fitment, you need a higher offset, as close to ET49 as you can get to be honest.

Basically, the only way is to sell those wheels and get some that will fit unfortunately

you cant change the offset of the wheels unless you get them machined down
