Default Do my rear arches need rolling or.......

Can I stop the rears rubbing by turning my bcs on a harder setting??

Gave it some last night around a few roundabouts and heard the rear tyres rub the arch, although on normal driving there's no issues at all.

Can this be stopped by stiffening the suspension up or will rears need to be pulled/rolled?

Cars a bug newage with bc br coilovers with xxr527 18x8.75 and 225/40/18 tyres

Any advice appreciated

Hardening the suspension is an option, not always successful though.

Check the camber on rear wheels as well, you may want to have a bit more negative setting there for better grip in the corners... Negative camber may fix the rubbing issues.
You would need the Eibach or Whiteline camber bolt kit.

or the third option - rolling the arches of course.
