Slight rubbing with........
 
My new 17" wheels...??...
I have had Tein Coilovers fitted then last night I purchased some great 17" wheels,but when I go over a speed bump or alike it rubs,also just randomly also,pot holes etc...I have been told to adjust the coilovers,but I am as thick as pig sh1t but my spanner man will do them,but he hasn't done them before,is it easy ?..Also what is have the rear arches wrapped or curved (can't remember now) cost and will they sort it out?
Cheers Jimmy

Arches could be `Rolled`, But i would try adjusting the coilovers first, There will be a big alloy nut on the threaded part of the strut easy to spot if you look, This adjusts the ride height, Also the wheels you bought what size are the tyres and what offset are the wheels as this might also be the problem,

Do I have to change the wheels as well or just the tyres?...The 4 tyres alone were over £700 !!!

sonicvr6 01 December 2011 09:25 PM

just the tyres or you could raise the suspension half a inch or so
