Hi guys and gals,

My scooby is fitted with 18" wheels and Pirelli P0 225x40x18.

Problem is when the car bounces the edge of the wheel arch contacts the tyre. Just wondering if anyone has remedied this by any means, maybe turning up the inside of the wheel arch?

Any success stories would be welcome.

Regards

John

Id say that your tyres are the wrong size for a classic shaped scoob, stick to 215/35/18 and you should be ok
