Maverick22 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 How my car currently sits I have winter tyres on the fronts and rears which are 185/55/15's. The right hand wheel arch rubs horrendously when i make left turns so i may either raise the car or seek the arch to be rolled. also the rear makes a knocking noise going over large potholes or bumps and the like... im ignoring it for now and assuming its just standard or should i be concerned? Thanks for all the comments peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Might just be catching the arch but I'd check the mounts are tightened up properly. Love the wire spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the wire spokes I will have to take a proper look later and see what i can do, i may have to raise by 10mm as i got a bottle stuck between my wheel and arch! it came out of nowhere.. made a horrible noise as i drove, stopped and put it into reverse and was even worse - couldnt even get a pinky in there to grab it #sadtimesAlso i have had a look around and they retail at like £1000 for 72 spokes but they are my friends mothers (proper classy lady huh) so hopefully will get a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3nny Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 how long did it take you to fit the coillies mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick22 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 how long did it take you to fit the coillies mate?i started at 11am on a sunday but ran into trouble with the first bolt which took about an hour to get off... WD 40 was the hero of the day. once that was off the rear took maybe around 4 hours to do, bearing in mind i had to do it myself till my mate came and helped take the spring out of the rear right. i would say the rear took around 4 hours and the front was about 3 hours including adjusting the height. The guide is really helpful on the how to page however if your gonna do it yourself invest in a 21mm swan neck spanner.. saved my bacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
