Guest lutonman12 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 hi not sure if this is the right place to post this but.... ive got a mk3 cab i think its lowered by about 40mm and i got 17s with 40 profiles ,the arches have been rolled but i still cant put anyone in the back cos it scrapes (think its against the shock at the back?) just wondered if there was any way to remedy this???? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eddie Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 hello mate if it is scraping on the back shocker and not the arch it self you have 2 options 1 change the wheels for ones with a different offset, 2 fit a set of wheel spacers just wide enough to clear the shocker but not so wide as to catch the arch this to me is the most obvious choice. but it will be up to you mate hope this helps thanks eddie.

Guest lutonman12 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 is this a common thing???down to the offset?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eddie Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 yeah mate the joys of 17s some hit the shock some hit the arch generally quite easy to sort eg spacers etcjust work out how big a spacer you need to clear the shocker but not hit the arch and hopefully that will be job done mate if needed you can get longer wheel bolts from the likes of speed shack etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lutonman12 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 just been out and looked and its not tight against the shock at all!!!!!!now i think its the front of the wheel rubbing against the arch!is the car low?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eddie Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 will that bit of the arch not roll a little bit more to clear the wheel if not your going to after change the springs for slightly higher ones like 30mm ones or if you are needing tyres soon go to lower profile ones hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lutonman12 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 the arch is properly rolled and the tyres are 40s as it is!!!!so i think new springs are in order ,may just go to smaller wheels if its a choice between a high back end,not keen on the way it drives with the 17s looks wicked though!!!
