fitted some new wheels the other week and they are jst pokig out of the wheel arches by about 1/4 inch, basically bang on uder the wheel arch trim.
The problem is that when there people in the back and going over speed bumps etc the wheel rubs on the wheel arch trim itself.
They are only 15"s!
Any 1 know how to solve this problem cause i worried about driving over stuff now and have to go really slow!

they will be the wrong offset
more than likely be a et35
you need et49 to be perfect
get away with et 45,s

yeh i have this problem to i have 15" tsw venoms on my sport and they hit the plastic arch when i have 3 in the back and go over a dip in the road. does the wrong offset also make the handling a bit shoot because my car seems to railtrack (follow cracks in the road)?

TSW don't do Vauxhall friendly offsets in most of thier wheels 
The wrong offest can make the car tramline, as can wheels that are too big ( )
