Bazza21 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 lowered my car about 2-3 weeks ago but was running on normal lupo wheel set up (5.5j, 175 65) then last night i got my bmw e30 15inch 7js (tyres 195 45 15 slight stretch but nothing much) finished and fitted, after a quick run down the road i found out that it scrapes doing anything other than going straight. So out came the bar and hammer, had a good hour rolling the arch lip in. tried again going down the road. BRILLIANT no scraping, thought i had cracked it, until somebody sat in the back and i did 20 miles in it, this made carnage of my tyre :/ so what would be the next step to try ? more rolling or buy a set of camber shins ?thanks in advancebarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fob163 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 try low profile tyres? 195 is huuge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza21 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 isnt lower profile the percentage, thats the 45 part, the 195 is the width? there running on 7js which is a wide wheel tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fob163 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 true my bad! its probably because they're so wide! are you lowered and have you taken the adjustors out? if so, put them back in and it should strengthen the rear back up!

Silver! Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 You can get the arches pulled or put on tyres with more of a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 get a set of 165 45's or 50's mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza21 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 im down 40mm at the back on springs :/ so its not even that low really. they sit well when no ones in the car. when theres a little weight in this is when the problem occurs. might take out my sub, spare wheel and seat haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
