MARC MOSS Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Right I have toms new action 6.0x15 et35 the perfect wheel an size for my car apparently.I put some 195/50/15 yoko paradas on last week and now they catch the arches on the front when u turn in hard and say hit a small bump in a road.. But why? I thought these were the correct size tyre? I had a lower profile before....It's looking like I'll need a set of livesports front arches as my suspension is set up exactly how I want it and any harder on the front will not do my handling any good!Anybody else get this ? Will I just need an arch roll? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Not quite the same but my sr rubbed on the inner arch from completely standard, now I've just put 50 profile tyres on its a complete twat. Need some spacerd I thinkRolling your arches would be cheaper if u can borrow the tool for it and you have the patience to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukeEP82 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Some one told me 195/50/15 are wider than 195/45/15. Also if you fit 5mm taller profile tyres in theory you need to raise the car up 5mm. But like you said et35 off set you should be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The 45/50 and so on is just the percentage of the 195. You could try knocking your wheel arch fixings in on the edge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Mine catch aswell mate im 195/50/15 I've got standard shocks with tein springs. think its the plastic inner arch that's it rubbs on sounds horrible. think im going to roll them and hope it sorts it Edited March 20, 2012 by akyakapotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 If the tires don't scrub the arches you're not going fast enough round the corners! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fozzie Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This may be a stupid idea, but if they catch the arch liner could you just cut a small hole in the arch where it rubs? It may let a bit of muck in but I guess if it's only a small hole it may be ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Its not the arch liner its the plate against ther chassis rail so no chance of chopping that out lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Haha ahh ok, no that wouldn't work too well lol. I did warn you it was probably a stupid idea haha ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have 15x7 wheels with 195/45/15 tyres and mine rub slighty under harsh cornering, pretty sure its only the inner arch plastics they catch though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
