Trim the inner lips off the arches, Are your wheels not the right offset?

Do you know the offset, sounds like it is'nt right for the car. Apart from trimming the arches there is nothing you can do unfortunatly.

if its only just rubbing its probably the bolts that hold the arches in. Take them out and tiger seal the arches back on.

You must have gone super low or you have a dodgy offset to get 15's to rub?
What size tyres have you got?

yea it will be stamped on the back of the alloy, on one of the spokes. It will say "et" with a number and thats your offset

get the person who sprays it to remove the arch fixings. its easy1 undo the bolts inside the arch, and take it off and the clips should slide out. just take the 2 out that r catching. then stick it back on with tiger seal, and then replace the bolts where you can. job done!
